Clematis serratifolia<br />

Clematis<br />

‘Kugotia’ syn Tiara Gold<br />

Application No: 1997/106 Accepted 5 Aug 1997.<br />

Applicant: H.J.M. Kuijf, Uithoorn, The Netherlands.<br />

Agent: Plants management <strong>Australia</strong>, Wonga Park, VIC.<br />

Characteristics (Table 20, Figure 9) Plant: habit, medium<br />

dense, vigorous, perennial, climber. Stem: annually<br />

growing approximately 2 meters long, young growing tip<br />

pubescent becoming glabrous with maturity, anthocyanin<br />

often present on upper surface when mature, ribbing<br />

present. Leaf: pinnately compound, leaflets 7 to 9, upper<br />

usually simple lower usually ternate to cleft, lanceolate,<br />

apex acuminate to acute, base cuneate to obtuse, irregularly<br />

serrate, curling, petiole glabrous slightly connate. Flower:<br />

solitary, axillary on young shoots, bud almost orbicular,<br />

upright at first then nodding, pedicel mean length<br />

(88.3mm), flower bisexual, nodding, first open campanulate<br />

but spreading with maturity, 4 tepals (mean width 13mm,<br />

length 29mm), colour deep yellow (RHS 9A) on both sides,<br />

apex acute sparsely pubescent, filaments uneven length,<br />

purple colour (RHS 79A), pistil initially shorter than<br />

stamens but elongate during maturity, stigma yellow<br />

glabrous. Flowering time: December to April. Fruit:<br />

upright, achene with a persistent plumose style. (Note: All<br />

RHS colour chart numbers refer to 1995 edition.)<br />

Origin and Breeding Open-pollination followed by<br />

seedling selection: originated from seeds harvested from a<br />

open-pollination of ‘Golden Harvest’ which was being<br />

grown among a large collection of various Clematis<br />

varieties in Kuijf, Uithoorn, The Netherlands in 1994. From<br />

these seeds a batch of seedlings were grown and one<br />

seedling was selected because of its particularly desirable<br />

attributes. The new variety is similar in appearance to<br />

‘Golden Harvest’ but differs in having larger flowers, which<br />

are of darker colour and with the tepal being pubescent<br />

inside. Selection criteria: flower colour, size and plant<br />

vigour. Propagation: from this original seedling propagation<br />

was by asexual means (cuttings) and the was found to be<br />

uniform and stable. ‘Kugotia’ will be commercially<br />

propagated by vegetative cuttings from stock plants.<br />

Breeder: H.J.M. Kuijf, Uithoorn, The Netherlands.<br />

Choice of Comparators C. serratifolia was chosen as it is<br />

the most similar variety of common knowledge of the same<br />

species. The seed parent ‘Golden Harvest’ was not included<br />

in the trial due to the reasons mentioned above. C. tangutica<br />

was initially considered due to similar, but lighter flower<br />

colouring but was excluded as it is a different species.<br />

Comparative Trial Location: Park Orchards, VIC, Feb<br />

2000 to Feb 2001. Conditions: conducted in shade house<br />

with 50% cover. Plants propagated by cuttings and potted<br />

into initially <strong>14</strong>0mm then 200mm containers filled with a<br />

soilless pine bark based potting media and using a<br />

controlled release fertilizer. Pest and disease treatments<br />

applied as necessary. Trial design: 10 pots of each variety<br />

completely randomized. Measurements: One sample taken<br />

per plant.<br />

‘Cappuccino’<br />

Application No: 2000/333 Accepted: 26 Feb 2001.<br />

Applicant: Annton Nursery, Cambridge, New Zealand.<br />

Agent: Greenhills Propagation Nursery, Tynong, VIC.<br />

Characteristics (Table 21, Figure 19) Plant: habit small<br />

shrub. Leaf: length small (mean 10.16mm), width small<br />

(mean 6.61mm), shape obovate, tip rounded, base cuneate,<br />

margin undulation absent or very weak, main colour green<br />

137D, secondary colour brown 200A, glossiness absent or<br />

very weak. (Note: All RHS colour chart numbers refer to<br />

1995 edition.)<br />

Origin and Breeding Seedling selection: arose as a<br />

seedling selection from likely parent ‘Coppershine’ at the<br />

breeders property at Cambridge, New Zealand in 1998.<br />

Cuttings were taken in 1998, and grown on for observation<br />

for the conformation of uniformity and stability of the<br />

selection. Selection criteria: leaf size and colour and plant<br />

habit. Propagation: vegetative through at least 3<br />

generations. Breeder: Ann Burton, Cambridge, New<br />

Zealand.<br />
