Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named `Electra Royale`, characterized by its numerous, large. rounded purple flowers; flowers held above the foliage; freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit; moderately vigorous and compact, rounded, almost spherical plant habit; and dark green and glossy foliage.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Electra Royale`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventors in Coquille, Oreg. The objective of the breeding program was to develop varieties with uniform plant habit, attractive flower colors, good flower form, and numerous flowers per plant.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made in Feb., 1994, by the inventors of two unnamed proprietary seedling selections.
The cultivar `Electra Royale` was discovered and selected by the inventors as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Coquille, Oreg. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Coquille, Oreg. has shown that the unique features of this new New Guinea Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Electra Royale`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new New Guinea Impatiens as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large purple flowers.
2. Flowers held above the foliage.
3. Rounded flower form.
4. Numerous flowers per plant.
5. Freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit.
6. Moderately vigorous and compact, rounded, almost spherical plant habit.
7. Dark green and glossy foliage.
In contrast to plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens, plants of the male proprietary seedling selection are taller, not as freely branching, have larger leaves and fewer flowers.
In contrast to plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens, plants of the female proprietary seedling selection have smaller flowers and flower color is red.
The new New Guinea Impatiens is similar in flower color to the New Guinea Impatiens cultivar `Papete` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,457). However in side-by-side comparisons in Coquille, Oreg., under commercial practice, plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar`Papete` in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are rounded in plant shape whereas plants of the cultivar `Papete` are more upright.
2. Stem color of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens is green with red tones whereas stem color of plants of the cultivar `Papete` is red.
3. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens flower about 1.5 weeks earlier than flowers of plants of the cultivar `Papete`.
4. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens have more flowers per lateral stem than of plants of the cultivar `Papete`.
5. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are displayed above the foliage whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar `Papete` are often down in the foliage.
6. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are larger than flowers of plants of the cultivar `Papete`.
7. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are round in shape with petals overlapping whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar `Papete` are star-shaped with gaps between the petals.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens and the cultivar `Papete` appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The new New Guinea Impatiens has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature and light level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and flower color of the new New Guinea Impatiens, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The first photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of the new New Guinea Impatiens.
The second photograph comprises a side perspective view of typical plants of the cultivar `Papete` (left) and the new New Guinea Impatiens (right) showing the differences in plant and flowering habit.
Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Coquille, Oreg., grown under double layer of polyethylene with day temperatures ranging from 23 to 30C. and night temperatures ranging from 10 to 18C., and light levels ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 footcandles.
