Pericallis x hybrida (Scheidw.) B. Nord.
Pericallis × hybrida produces corymbose inflorescences consisting of numerous flower heads that form dense, spherical 'caps'. Key characteristics include the size of individual flower heads, overall inflorescence density, and peduncle length.
In the reference 9 varieties crop Cineraria, where this is mentioned in the description.
The crop is characterized by corymbose inflorescences (corymbs). The main evaluation parameters are the diameter of individual flower heads and the overall compactness of the plant. Based on flower size, varieties are divided into small-flowered, with a diameter of 2.5–3.5 cm, and large-flowered, where the diameter of the flower heads can reach 8 cm.
An important technological trait is the length of the peduncles, which determines the density and aesthetic value of the 'cap'. Excessive stretching of the peduncles due to failure to maintain proper light and moisture regimes reduces the commercial appeal. Flower bud initiation occurs when the plant reaches the 8–10 true leaf stage.
