ABSTRACT:
LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Chrysanthemum morifolium.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘MOZA BN 01’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘MOZA BN 01’.
This new cultivar originated from hybridization of a female parent Chrysanthemum cultivar MZ 215-01 (unpatented in the United States, and undistributed commercially) with a male parent Chrysanthemum cultivar MZ 257-01 (unpatented in the United States, and undistributed commercially). The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in November 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘MOZA BN 01’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘MOZA BN 01.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MOZA BN 01’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Daisy type inflorescence with many tightly held ray florets;
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length;
3. Compact growth habit; and
4. Consistent natural season flowering habit during mid September.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the female parent cultivar in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the female parent cultivar in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar has different color ray florets;
2. The new cultivar is shorter;
3. The new cultivar has shorter internode length; and
4. The new cultivar has many more ray florets than the parent.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the male parent cultivar in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the male parent cultivar in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar has different color ray florets;
2. The new cultivar is taller; and
3. The new cultivar has a different type bloom.
