BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
of chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthe mumxmorifolium Ramat., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar denomination ‘Zanmudenali’. ‘Zanmudenali’ is a
product of a breeding and selection program for pot mums which had the objective of creating new cultivars with an anemone type in?orescence, a medium plant height and a response time of 7-8 weeks. ‘Zanmudenali’ is a seedling resulting from a cross of the female parent id 44258 and the male parent id 8967. Plants of the new cultivar ‘Zanmudenali’
differ from plants of the female parent in the following char acteristics: (1) In?orescence siZe. The in?orescences of the female parent are smaller than those of the seedling. And (2), Vigor. Plants of the female parent are less vigorous than those

The observations and measurements were gathered in May 2010 from plants grown in a controlled environment (green
house) in Rij senhout, The Netherlands, in a photo-periodic
15
controlled crop under conditions generally used in commer cial practice. Three cuttings were planted in a pot with a diameter of 12 cm. The greenhouse temperatures for this crop were at daytime 18.degree. C. to 25.degree. C., and at night
about 20.degree. C. The photo-periodic response time in this crop was 7.5 weeks after an average of eight long days. After
this long day period growth retardants (Alar) were applied six 20
times in an average dose of 1.5 gram/liter water until ?ower
of the seedling. Plants of the new cultivar ‘Zanmudenali’

of the male parent are less vigorous. The new and distinct cultivar was discovered and selected
as a ?owering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Wilhelmus Bernardus Blom in a controlled environment
erance. To show the phenotype as described ‘Zanmudenali’ 25
can be planted without assimilation lighting (high pressure
30
sodium lamps) between week 50 and week 40 of the next year under greenhouse conditions in the Netherlands. With assimi lation lighting (minimum level 2500 lux) it can be planted all year round under greenhouse conditions in The Netherlands. This new variety produces large sized blooms with white
(greenhouse) in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands in April 2003. The ?rst act of asexual production of ‘Zanmudenali’ was
accomplished when vegetative cuttings were used from the initial selection in June 2003 and propagated further in a
controlled environment in Rij senhout, The Netherlands. The

new cultivar has been found to retain its distinctive charac
teristics through successive propagations, although the phe notype may somewhat vary with variations in environment
such as light intensity and temperature.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention of a new and distinct variety of
chrysanthemum is shown in the accompanying drawings, the color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.
40
existing cultivar in comparison to ‘Zanmudenali’ is ‘Letitia Time Improved’ (US. Plant Pat. No. 18,359). When ‘Letitia Time Improved’ and ‘Zanmudenali’ are being compared the following difference is noticed: The difference of ‘Letitia Time Improved’ and ‘Zanmudenali’ are (1) In?orescence type. And (2) Ray ?oret color. (1) The in?orescence type in ‘Letitia Time Improved’ is single, that of ‘Zanmudenali’ is anemone. (2) The ray-?orets of ‘Letitia Time Improved’ are cream colored, while those of ‘Zanmudenali’ are white.
