Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant names Royal Mundial is provided. The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of the Mundial cultivar (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 679,528, filed concurrently herewith). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive relatively large purple anemone-centered flowers having a green center when immature. The inflorescence tends to be pyramidal in configuration. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhous conditions.
