Claims
It is claimed:
1. A new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant named `Fichryevenpur` as
illustrated and described.
Description
Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum X morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: `FICHRYEVENPUR`.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Chrysanthemum
plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum X morifolium,
commercially grown as a garden Chrysanthemum plant and hereinafter
referred to by the name `Fichryevenpur`.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding
program conducted by the Inventor in Fareham, Hampshire, United
Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program is to create new mid
to late season flowering garden Chrysanthemum plants with numerous
attractive inflorescences.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination
made in January, 2012 by the Inventor in Fareham, Hampshire, United
Kingdom of a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum X morifolium
identified as code number 802529, not patented, as the female, or
seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum X
morifolium identified as code number 802067, not patented, as the
male, or pollen, parent. The new Chrysanthemum plant was discovered
and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from
within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled
greenhouse environment in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom in
September, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum plant by terminal
vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Fareham, Hampshire,
United Kingdom in December, 2012. Asexual reproduction by terminal
vegetative cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new
Chrysanthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in
successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have not been observed under all
possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural
practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in
environmental conditions 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 `Fichryevenpur`.
These characteristics in combination distinguish `Fichryevenpur` as
a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant: 1. Upright to outwardly
spreading and uniformly and broadly mounded plant habit. 2.
Moderately vigorous to vigorous growth habit. 3. Freely branching
habit; dense and full plant form. 4. Uniform and freely flowering
habit. 5. Medium-size decorative-type inflorescences with deep
purple-colored ray florets. 6. Mid to late season flowering habit,
grown under natural season conditions, plants begin flowering in
late September to early October in the United Kingdom. 7. Good
garden performance.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the
female parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ
primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the
following characteristics: 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum
flower later than plants of the female parent selection. 2. Plants
of the new Chrysanthemum and the female parent selection differ in
ray floret color as plants of the female parent selection have
inflorescences with red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the
male parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ
primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following
characteristics: 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower later
than plants of the male parent selection. 2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum and the male parent selection differ in ray floret
color as plants of the male parent selection have inflorescences
with pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of
Chrysanthemum X morifolium `Fichrysunaub`, disclosed in U.S. Plant
patent application Ser. No. 15/732,517. In side-by-side
comparisons, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ primarily from
plants of `Fichrysunaub` in time to flower as plants of the new
Chrysanthemum flower later than plants of `Fichrysunaub`. In
addition, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have slightly smaller
inflorescences than plants of `Fichrysunaub`.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of
the new Chrysanthemum plant showing the colors as true as it is
reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this
type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color
values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately
describe the colors of the new Chrysanthemum plant.
The photograph is a top perspective view of a typical flowering
plant of `Fichryevenpur` grown in a 14-cm container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and
measurements describe plants grown during the winter in 14-cm
containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Fareham, Hampshire,
United Kingdom and under cultural practices typical of commercial
garden Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the
plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 17.degree. C. to
21.degree. C. and light levels averaged 6,000 lux. Plants were
grown under long day/short night conditions for about five weeks
(including propagation period) and then grown under short day/long
night conditions to induce inflorescence initiation and
development. Plants were twelve weeks old when the photograph and
detailed description were taken. In the following description,
color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour
Chart, Fifth Edition, except where general terms of ordinary
dictionary significance are used. Botanical classification:
