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 />
