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, referred to as
code number 65862 in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No
62/708,405 and hereinafter referred to by the name
`Domsudiyel`.
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
garden Chrysanthemum plants with numerous attractive
inflorescences.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant
mutation of a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum X morifolium
identified as code number 802358, not patented. The new
Chrysanthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as
a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the
mutation parent in a controlled greenhouse environment in Fareham,
Hampshire, United Kingdom in March, 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum plant by terminal
vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Fareham, Hampshire,
United Kingdom in March, 2014. 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 `Domsudiyel`. These
characteristics in combination distinguish `Domsudiyel` as a new
and distinct Chrysanthemum plant: 1. Upright to outwardly spreading
and uniformly and broadly mounded plant habit. 2. Moderately
vigorous growth habit. 3. Freely branching habit; dense and full
plant form. 4.Uniform and freely flowering habit. 5. Medium-sized
decorative-type inflorescences with bright yellow-colored ray
florets. 6. Early season flowering habit, grown under natural
season conditions, plants begin flowering in mid-August in the
United Kingdom. 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the
mutation parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ
primarily from plants of the mutation parent selection in ray
floret color as plants of the new Chrysanthemum have inflorescences
with bright yellow-colored ray florets whereas plants of the
mutation parent selection have inflorescences with light red
purple-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of
Chrysanthemum X morifolium `Domsudipi`, disclosed in U.S. Plant
patent application Ser. No. 16/350,603. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum differ primarily from plants of `Domsudipi` in ray
floret color as plants of the new Chrysanthemum have inflorescences
with bright yellow-colored ray florets whereas plants of
`Domsudipi` have inflorescences with red purple to purple-colored
ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of
Chrysanthemum X morifolium `Domsuditwhi`, disclosed in U.S. Plant
patent application Ser. No. 16/350,602. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum differ primarily from plants of `Domsuditwhi` in ray
floret color as plants of the new Chrysanthemum have inflorescences
with bright yellow-colored ray florets whereas plants of
`Domsuditwhi` have inflorescences with light yellow to
white-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can also be compared to plants of
Chrysanthemum X morifolium `Daybreak Dark Yellow`, not patented. In
side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ
primarily from plants of `Daybreak Dark Yellow` in the following
characteristics: 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are not as
vigorous as plants of `Daybreak Dark Yellow`. 2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum and `Daybreak Dark Yellow` differ in ray floret color
as plants of the new Chrysanthemum have inflorescences with bright
yellow-colored ray florets whereas plants of `Daybreak Dark Yellow`
have inflorescences with deep yellow-colored ray florets.
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 `Domsudiyel` grown in a 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:
