ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Scaevola aemula
cultivar Wesscaedia.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Scaevola
plant, botanically known as
Scaevola aemula
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Wesscaedia’.
The new cultivar is a whole plant mutation of the
Scaevola
cultivar Fancy, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,867. The new
Scaevola
was discovered and selected as a single plant in a controlled environment in Vauvert, France in 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany since 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new
Scaevola
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperatures, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the basic characteristics of ‘Wesscaedia’ which distinguish ‘Wesscaedia’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Cascading and uniformly rounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy plant form.
3. Vigorous growth habit.
4. Numerous white and violet blue bi-colored flowers with white-colored centers.
Plants of the new
Scaevola
can be compared to plants of the parent, the cultivar Fancy. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, plants of the new
Scaevola
and the cultivar Fancy differed in the following characteristics:
1. Leaves of plants of the new
Scaevola
were darker green in color than leaves of plants of the cultivar Fancy.
2. Plants of the new
Scaevola
were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
3. Plants of the new
Scaevola
had smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
4. Flowers of plants of the new
Scaevola
were white and violet blue bi-colored whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Fancy were violet blue in color.
Plants of the new
Scaevola
can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Brilliant, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,099. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, plants of the new
Scaevola
and the cultivar Brilliant differed in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Scaevola
had longer internodes than plants of the cultivar Brilliant.
2. Leaves of plants of the new
Scaevola
were darker green in color than leaves of plants of the cultivar Brilliant.
3. Plants of the new
Scaevola
had more flowers per inflorescence than plants of the cultivar Brilliant.
4. Flowers of plants of the new
Scaevola
were white and violet blue bi-colored with white centers whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Brilliant were violet blue in color.
