Abstract

A new Cymbidium cultivar 'White Princess' was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI) in 2005. A cross was made in 1995 between 'Cymbidium 2113', light purple colored petal and medium plant sized variety, and 'Lucky Rainbow Randevous', a dark purple petal with red lip and large type variety. The ninety progenies were obtained after planting and acclimatization in green house. In 2000, a line (9526747) was selected and multipliticed after test of its flower color, leaf shape, flower stalk, and vigorous growing habit. After evaluation trial for two growing seasons, the selected line was named as 'White Princess'. The 'White Princess' has white petals (WN 155A) with red lip (RP59D) color and large sized leaves, and flowers (leaf length is about 88 cm and flower diameter is about 8 cm) with semi-erect flower stalks. Blooming started from December to January in optimal culture conditions. High temperature (more than $30^{\circ}C$) and low light intensity(less than 10,000Lux) should be avoided for the appropriate growth.

'White Princess'(화이트프린세스) 품종은 원예연구소에서 2005년도에 육성한 심비디움 품종이다. 이 품종을 개발하기 위하여 1995년도에 화색이 연한 자주색 계열의 심비디움 수집 유전자원 Cym. '2113'을 모본으로 착화성이 우수하고 꽃송이가 큰 연분홍색의 'Lucky Rainbow Randevious'를 부본으로 교배를 실시하였다. 1996년부터 1999년까지 실생계통 90개체를 양성하면서 엽형, 화색 및 화형이 우수한 개체를 선발하여 2000~2004년에 1,2차 특성검정과 품평회 결과 생육 및 개화특성이 우수한 '원교 F1-14' 계통을 최종 선발하였다. 생육이 강건하고 화색이 선명하고 화형이 둥글고 꽃 폭이 약 8cm 정도로 크며 개화시기가 12월에서 1월경이었다.
