Abstract
A new Cymbidium variety 'Yellow Princess' was developed from a cross between 'Eastern Star' and 'Tropical Yellow' followed by seedling and line selections at the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration (RDA) in 2006. Trials were conducted from 2000 to 2005 for evaluation and selection of this cultivar. 'Yellow Princess' has medium flowering habit and bright yellow flowers (RHS, Y11B: petal and sepal) with grayed purple (GP183A) spot on lip when fully opened. The number of flower on each peduncle was 12.9 and the flower diameter was 6.8 cm. It has adequate peduncle height (56.5 cm) compared to leaf length (75.0 cm). The general impression of petals and sepals show some incurved and some spreading shape. It blooms starting from early-winter (from Nov.) under optimal culture conditions.
심비디움 '옐로프린세스(Yellow Princess)'는 농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원에서 'Eastern Star'에 'Tropical Yellow'를 1995년에 교배하여 얻은 후대집단으로부터 선발하여 2000년부터 2005년까지 1, 2차 특성검정 후 2006년에 품종화되었다. '옐로프린세스'는 꽃잎이 밝은 황색계(RHS, Y11B)이며 설판 위에 적갈색 점(GP183A)이 있는 중형종이다. 화경당 착생하는 꽃 수는 12.9개이며 화폭이 6.8cm이다. 화경장 56.5cm, 엽장75cm가 조화를 이루어 안정된 분화형태를 보이며 꽃 모양은 둥근 형이다. 적정 재배조건하에서 개화시기는 11월경부터이다.
