BRACHYSCOME<br />

Brachyscome hybrid<br />

‘Sunabell’<br />

Application No: 98/197 Accepted: 2 Dec 1998.<br />

Applicant: The University of Sydney, Plant Breeding<br />

Institute, Cobbitty NSW.<br />

Characteristics (Table 8, Figure 20). Plant: compact, nonsuckering<br />

spreading perennial herb. Leaf: simple, alternate<br />

bipinnatisect, glabrous. Ray floret colour violet group<br />

(RHS 85C, 1995).<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled Pollination: seed parent<br />

Brachyscome multifida ‘Bright Eyes’ x pollen parent<br />

Brachyscome ‘Valencia’. Hybridisation took place at Plant<br />

Breeding Institute, Cobbitty NSW in 1995. Selection<br />

criteria: Flower size, presentation and colour as well as<br />

plant habit and foliage. Propagation: a number of stock<br />

plants have been produced from the selected seedling plant<br />

by vegetative cuttings, and have been uniform and stable<br />

over 8 generations. ‘Sunabell’ is commercially propagated<br />

by vegetative cuttings from stock plants. Breeder: Peter<br />

Abell, University of Sydney, Plant Breeding Institute,<br />

Cobbitty NSW.<br />

Choice of Comparator(s) The comparator used as the<br />

closest commercial variety is ‘Misty Mauve’ A It has similar<br />

flower colour and size but differs mostly in habit and leaf<br />

shape. The parents ‘Bright Eyes’ and ‘Valencia’ (both<br />

public cultivars) were included in the trial. No other<br />

varieties of common knowledge were considered to be<br />

appropriate.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparator(s): The two parents plus<br />

the variety ‘Misty Mauve’ A were include in the trial.<br />

Location: University of Sydney, Plant Breeding Institute,<br />

Cobbitty NSW (latitude 34°01´, longitude 150°40´,<br />

elevation 75m), summer 1999. Conditions: trials were<br />

conducted in an open sided tunnel house. Plants propagated<br />

from cuttings, were planted into 200mm squat pots in<br />

soiless pine bark based potting mix with slow release<br />

fertiliser. Trial design: <strong>12</strong> plants of each line were placed<br />

randomly. Measurements: from 10 plants at random.<br />

Prior Applications and Sales<br />

Nil. First sold in <strong>Australia</strong> in June 1998.<br />
