A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Funbeam is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a mutation induced by controlled irradiation with x-rays and can be readily distinguished from the parent Funshine cultivar (U.S. Ser. No. 719,461, filed concurrently herewith). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive relatively small bicolored flowers wherein the petals are light red-purple instead of white as the Funshine cultivar and the disc florets particularly towards the center bear a more intense and more purple coloration on the distal ends (as illustrated) than the Funshine cultivar. The inflorescence tends to be pyramidal in configuration. The response period of the flowers is approximately seven and one-half weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
