Description

This first known tetraploid interspecific Clivia is a cross between a diploid C. caulescens motherplant-SCP01 and a tetraploid C. miniata-94001-09. The plant is a tetraploid (2n= 4c= 74,26 pg) so the motherplant must have produced an unreduced gamete (egg cell). '4Tissimo' is fertile on both male and female side. Can produce seeds with a normal diploid clivia. Flowersize 5.7cm long and 3.3cm width. Colour is between OR5 and OR6 depending on light levels. The 4 refers to the tetraploid nature and fortissimo means loud, like the DNA level.
