ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Sanvitalia procumbens
cultivar QuHa 4015/1.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Sanvitalia
plant, botanically known as
Sanvitalia procumbens
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘QuHa 4015/1’.
The new
Sanvitalia
was discovered by the Inventor in 1999 as a naturally-occurring branch mutation of an unnamed proprietary
Sanvitalia procumbens
seedling selection, not patented, in a greenhouse in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. The new
Sanvitalia
was selected by the Inventor on the basis of its larger inflorescence size.
Asexual reproduction of the new
Sanvitalia
by vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Venhuizen, The Netherlands in 1999. Asexual reproduction by vegetative cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new
Sanvitalia
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘QuHa 4015/1’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘QuHa 4015/1’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘QuHa 4015/1’ as a new and distinct
Sanvitalia
:
1. Low mounding and spreading plant habit.
2. Dark green-colored foliage.
3. Early and freely flowering habit.
4. Bright yellow-colored ray florets.
Compared to plants of the parent selection, plants of the new
Sanvitalia
are faster growing, have darker green-colored leaves, are more freely flowering and have larger inflorescences.
Plants of the new
Sanvitalia
can be compared to plants of the
Sanvitalia
cultivar Aztekengold, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Venhuizen, The Netherlands, plants of the new
Sanvitalia
differed from plants of the cultivar Aztekengold in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Sanvitalia
grew faster than plants of the cultivar Aztekengold.
2. Plants of the new
Sanvitalia
had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Aztekengold.
3. Ray florets of plants of the new
Sanvitalia
were darker yellow in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Aztekengold.
