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 />
