Claims
What is claimed is:
1. A new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum plant named
`Yoencino,` substantially as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed:
Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium.
Varietal denomination: `Yoencino`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically
known as Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium, and hereinafter referred
to by the variety name `Yoencino`.
`Yoencino` is a product of a planned breeding program. The new
cultivar has medium sized anemone flower-type with spoon shaped
bright greyed-red ray florets, good floriferousness, and small dark
foliage.
`Yoencino` originated from a hybridization made in January 2004 in
a controlled breeding environment in Fareham, Hampshire, United
Kingdom. The female parent was the proprietary plant designated
`Cashmere,` unpatented, with anemone type flowers, medium short
plant height and small to medium sized flowers.
The male parent of `Yoencino` was an unpatented hybrid seedling
identified as `P865G 2` with spoon shaped, single gold flowers, and
approximately a 54 day flowering response.
`Yoencino` was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny
of the stated cross in the September 2004 in a controlled
environment in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
The first act of asexual reproduction of `Yoencino` was
accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the
initial selection in September 2004 in a controlled environment in
Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar was applied for in Canada
in October 2008. `Yoencino` has not been made publicly available
more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the
plant initiated in September 2004 and continuing thereafter, has
demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein
disclosed for `Yoencino` are firmly fixed and are retained through
successive generations of asexual reproduction.
`Yoencino` has not been observed under all possible environmental
conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in
environment such as temperature, light intensity and day
length.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are
determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The
combination of these characteristics distinguishes this
Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct variety
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and
foliage characteristics of `Yoencino` with colors being as true as
possible with an illustration of this type. The photographic
drawing shows four flowering potted plants of the new variety,
growing in a five inch pot, and a close-up of the flowers.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The plant descriptions, measurements and aforementioned photographs
were taken in Gilroy, Calif. in April 2009 under greenhouse
conditions. These plants were started and grown in central coastal
California, then shipped to Gilroy in April 2009. Plants were grown
under conditions which approximate those generally used in
commercial potted chrysanthemum production and were about 9 weeks
of age.
Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour
Chart (R.H.S.) 2001.
