LIMONIUM<br />

Limonium hybrid<br />

‘Oceanic White’<br />

Application No: 92/059 Accepted: 7 May 1992.<br />

Applicant: DAI-ICHI Seed Co. Ltd. Tokyo, Japan.<br />

Agent: Burbank Biotechnology Pty Ltd, Tuggerah, NSW.<br />

Description (Table 14, Figure 25) Plant: herbaceous,<br />

rosette forming perennial (3 to 4 years). Leaf: medium<br />

green, ovate to obovate, petiole short, apex mucronate,<br />

maximum length 131 mm, width 6.9 mm. Inflorescence:<br />

height 950 mm, diameter 550 mm, upright, open, branches<br />

spreading. Flowering stem: smooth without ornamentation,<br />

base 5.12 mm diameter. Flower: regular, length 5mm long,<br />

sepals five fused into a tube, petals five fused into a tube on<br />

half their length, colour RHS 155C (partly translucent).<br />

Origin Mutation of ‘Oceanic Blue’ induced by exposure to<br />

x-rays in 1986. Breeders: Selected by Kazunori Sato,<br />

Kazuharu Koreeda and Nobuaki Takanashi, Japan . Selected<br />

on the basis of height and form of inflorescence and flower<br />

and flower colour. Propagation: vegetative.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Betlaard’, ‘Misty Blue’,<br />

‘Misty Pink’, ‘Oceanic Blue’. Location: Doyalson, NSW.<br />

Conditions: plants were grown in a naturally ventilated<br />

plastic covered green house. Growing medium was a native<br />

soil amended with fertilisers commercially used for the<br />

cultivation of Limonium and formed into raised beds.<br />

Clonal tube material at the normal commercial size was<br />

transplanted into the beds on 23 Aug 1996. Irrigation was<br />

by drip irrigation on demand. Trial design: randomised<br />

complete block design with <strong>10</strong> blocks and two plants per<br />

block. Measurements: taken at anthesis, Nov- Dec 1996.<br />

Leaf measurements were made on the two longest leaves<br />

per plant and but diameter on the base of the two largest<br />

inflorescences.<br />
