Botanical designation: Osteospermum ecklonis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Duetibreyech’.
The present application is co-pending with the following related applications: Title: Osteospermum Plant Named ‘Duetibredator’, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/349,673 Applicant: Marga Dümmen Title: Osteospermum Plant Named ‘Duetisuneye’, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/349,641 Applicant: Marga Dümmen
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant, botanically known as Osteospermum ecklonis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Duetibreyech’.
The new Osteospermum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Osteospermum cultivars with uniform plant habit, early flowering and interesting floret coloration.
The new Osteospermum originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2003 of a proprietary selection of Osteospermum ecklonis identified as code number F-03-19, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Osteospermum ecklonis identified as code number F-01-13, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Osteospermum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany in July, 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new Osteospermum by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Rheinberg, Germany in July, 2004. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Osteospermum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Duetibreyech has not been observed under all possible environment conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘Duetibreyech’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Duetibreyech’ as a new and distinct Osteospermum:
Plants of the new Osteospermum differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in ray floret color as plants of both parent selections have paler yellow-colored ray florets. In addition, plants of the new Osteospermum are more vigorous than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Osteospermum differ primarily from plants of the cultivar Duetibredaor, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/349,673, and the cultivar Duetisuneye, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/349,641, in ray floret color.
Plants of the new Osteospermum can be compared to plants of the Osteospermum cultivar Countryside, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Osteospermum differed from plants of the cultivar Countryside in the following characteristics:
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Osteospermum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Osteospermum. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Duetibreyech’ grown in container.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The aforementioned photograph, following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the spring in Rheinberg, Germany, in a glass-covered greenhouse and under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial Osteospermum production. Single plants were grown in 13-cm containers and pinched about one week after planting. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures were about 18° C. and light levels were about 4,500 foot-candles. Plants used in the photograph and for the botanical description were about four months old.
