Variety traits
Nemesia Inflorescence
Nemesia Vent.
The nemesia inflorescence is a terminal raceme, serving as a key ornamental feature of the crop. Its development and density are the primary criteria for evaluation during variety trials.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Nemesia, where this is mentioned in the description.
Botanically, the nemesia inflorescence is classified as a terminal raceme, although axillary inflorescences occur in some cases. The flowers are located at the ends of the stems, either singly or forming raceme-like structures that define the plant's visual appearance.
In breeding evaluation, the inflorescence is assessed through indicators of floral abundance and luxuriance, expressed by the number of flowers per plant. The plant habit is also considered, as stems may bend under the weight of the inflorescences, which is an important parameter for a variety's lodging resistance.
Despite varieties undergoing DUS (distinctness, uniformity, and stability) testing, international protocols focus primarily on the morphology of the individual flower, leaving the quantitative metrological parameters of the inflorescence as descriptive criteria for ornamental value.
