Genus and species:
Osteospermum fruiticosum.
Variety denomination: ‘Kakegawa AU8’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention originated in 1994 from an F

selection of
Osteospermum fruiticosum.
The female parent was known as breeding line No. 375 and possessed large, white flowers. The male parent was known as line No. 471 and possessed large flowers that would stay open later into the evening than most Osteospermums. Line No. 375 originated from a hybridization made in 1991 between an F
5
selection from a cross between a pink flowered line and a white with blue eye line, and a dwarf habit breeding line with flowers that stayed open late. Line No. 471 originated from a hybridization made in 1993 between a dwarf, rose flowered line with flowers that stayed open late and a dwarf, pink flowered line. The origin of these lines dates back to crosses made by the inventor in 1984. The original selection made in 1995 was vegetatively propagated again in 1996 and stability was confirmed in 1997. The line was established as ‘Kakegawa AU8’, and determined to have its characteristics firmly fixed.
