ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Dendranthema grandiflora
and referred to by the cultivar name Yobeth.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new garden-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms and floret colors and good garden performance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor in November, 1991, of the
Dendranthema grandiflora
cultivar Bravo (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,888) as the female, or seed, parent with an unidentified proprietary seedling selection as the male, or pollen parent.
The cultivar Yobeth was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of th estated cross in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif., in October, 1992. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and ray floret color.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Yobeth has not been observed under all possible environment 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 ‘Yobeth’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yobeth’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Relatively small decorative-type inflorescences that are about 3.6 cm in diameter.
3. Attractive reddish purple-colored ray florets.
4. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
The new Chrysanthemum is similar to the parent cultivar Bravo. However in side-by-side comparisons under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Bravo in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are fuller and more dense than plants of the cultivar Bravo.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about one week later than plants of the cutlivar Bravo grown under natural season conditions.
3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are reddish purple in color whereas ray florets of plants of the cultivar Bravo are red in color.
