Abstract

$Cymbidium$ 'Purple Princess' ('Show Girl' x 'Eiko') is a new cultivar having dark purple sepal and petal (RHS, RP59A) with purple lip (RHS, RP59A). A cross was made between pink colored $C.$'Show Girl' as maternal line and dark purple colored $C.$ 'Eiko' as paternal line in 1994. It was preliminarily selected as Line No. 94019267 in 1999 considering the characters of flower shape and color, leaf growing shape and growth habit in normal culture condition. Multiplication, cultivation, and characteristic trials were conducted from 2000 to 2003. The line was named as Wongyo F1-7 and phenotype was characterized in 2004 as a new 'Purple Princess'. 'Purple Princess' has about 13.2 flowers per flower stalk and flower size of 5.2 cm. General appearance of petals and sepals is slightly incurved shape. The plant size is intermediate having erect peduncle. Blooming starts from early December under optimal culture condition. Leaf attitude and twisting is erect and very weak respectively. Erect leaf will be suitable for growing and handling in the nursery as pot orchid flowers.

심비디움 'Purple Princess'는 국립원예특작과학원에서 2004년도에 육성한 품종이다. 이 품종을 개발하기 위하여 1994년에 모본으로 $Cymbidium$ 'Show Girl'과 부본으로 C.'Eiko'를 사용하여 교배를 실시하였다. 획득한 실생계통 중에서 꽃색이 진한 자주색이고 직립성 잎모양과 생육이 강건한 94-0192-67 계통을 1999년에 선발하였다. 조직배양에 의해 대량증식하여 온실에서 양성하면서 2000년부터 2003년에 걸쳐 특성검정을 수행하였다. 2004년에 원교 F1-7호로 2차 특성검정 및 계통평가회의 기호성 조사를 통해 최종적으로 심비디움 'Purple Princess'라 명명하였다. 'Purple Princess'는 꽃잎, 꽃받침, 잎술판 모두 동일한 진자주색(RHS RP59A) 품종이며 꽃의 직경이 5.2cm이며 꽃모양이 둥근 중형품종이다. 개화시기가 12월 초순 부터인 중생계 품종이다. 특히 잎 꼬임이 적으며 꽃대와 잎이 직립성이어서 광투과성이 우수하여 식물이 강건하고 재배관리가 편리한 장점을 가지고 있다. 적정 생육을 위해 고온($30^{\circ}C$ 이상)과 저광 조건은 피한다.
