Alstroemeria hybrid<br />

Alstroemeria, Peruvian Lily<br />

‘Kodelight’ syn Inca Delight<br />

Application No: 1998/029 Accepted: 7 Jul 1998.<br />

Applicant: Konst Alstroemeria B.V., Nieuwveen, The<br />

Netherlands.<br />

Agent: Maxiflora Pty Ltd, Monbulk, VIC.<br />

Characteristics (Table 4, Figure 4) Plant: stem length<br />

medium, stem thickness very thin, density of foliage<br />

medium. Leaf: shape narrow elliptic, longitudinal axis of<br />

blade recurved, length short to medium, width narrow.<br />

Inflorescence: umbel branch number few, length medium to<br />

long, pedicel length medium. Flower: colour red purple,<br />

size medium, tepal spread broad; outer tepal, shape broad<br />

obovate, depth of emargination medium, stripes absent,<br />

colour red purple RHS 60B at apex, RHS 63B at margins<br />

and base; inner lateral tepals, shape elliptic, colour yellow<br />

RHS 9A (RHS 13A) at centre and margins, red purple RHS<br />

63B at apex and base, stripes medium; inner median tepal,<br />

yellow colour present, stripes present. Stamens: filament<br />

colour pink, spots absent; anther colour greenish. Ovary:<br />

anthocyanin weak; style pink, stigma pink, spots absent.<br />

(Note: data in parenthesis denotes Dutch observations, all<br />

RHS numbers referred to in local observation were based<br />

on the 1986 edition.)<br />

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

88-185-1 (butterfly type) x pollen parent pink butterfly type<br />

in a planned breeding program at the applicant’s nursery at<br />

Nieuwveen, The Netherlands. Both parents are proprietary<br />

breeding lines developed by the applicant. Selection<br />

criteria: from this cross, ‘Kodelight’ was chosen on the basis<br />

of flower characteristics and dwarf growth habit.<br />

Propagation: a number of mature stock plants were<br />

generated from the original seedling by tissue culture<br />

through 10 generations to confirm uniformity and stability.<br />

‘Kodelight’ will be commercially propagated by tissue<br />

culture. Breeder: Konst Alstroemeria BV, Nieuwveen, The<br />

Netherlands.<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Delta’ A (PVJ 12.2) and<br />

‘Stapripal’ (PVJ 13.1) were considered as similar varieties<br />

of common knowledge based on previous descriptions in<br />

the Plant Varieties Journal and were chosen because both<br />

are dwarf varieties with similarities in flower colour.<br />

‘Delta’ A is a variety from the same breeding programme.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparisons of most of the<br />

characteristics are based on Dutch trials, which were<br />

assessed under conditions of controlled environment in<br />

glasshouses. Characteristics of the comparators are derived<br />

from previous descriptions in the Plant Varieties Journal.<br />

Detailed flower descriptions of the candidate variety are<br />

based on plants growing in 200mm pots in a standard<br />

soilless potting mixture under open ambient conditions in<br />

Monbulk, VIC. Flowers from these plants were assessed in<br />

Jan 1999 at Rye, VIC.<br />
