Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Spathoglottis plant named `Lencaract` characterized by its relatively compact, upright, and vigorous growth habit; rapid growth rate; elongated leaves that are upright to outwardly arching; numerous large dark purple flowers on strong and erect peduncles; long-lasting flowers; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Spathoglottis plant, botanically known as (Spathoglottis unguiculata ×Spathoglottis plicata), and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Lencaract`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned and controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Bedburg-Hau, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Spathoglottis cultivars with large long-lasting flowers, intense flower color, and rapid growth rate.
The new cultivar originated from a cross by the Inventor between an unnamed (Spathoglottis plicata) as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed selection of (Spathoglottis unguiculata×Spathoglottis plicata) as the male or pollen parent. The cultivar `Lencaract` was discovered and selected by the Inventor in May, 1995 as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Bedburg-Hau, Germany.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Bedburg-Hau, Germany, the following differences between the new Spathoglottis and the female parent, an unnamed selection of Spathoglottis plicata, have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Spathoglottis grow faster than plants of the unnamed selection of Spathoglottis plicata.
2. Plants of the new Spathoglottis have larger flowers than the unnamed selection of Spathoglottis plicata.
3. Flowers of plants of the new Spathoglottis are arranged closer together than flowers of plants of the unnamed selection of Spathoglottis plicata.
4. Flower color of plants of the new Spathoglottis is more intense purple than flower color of plants of the unnamed selection of Spathoglottis plicata.
5. Leaves of plants of the new Spathoglottis are narrower than leaves of plants of the unnamed selection of Spathoglottis plicata.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Bedburg-Hau, Germany, the following differences between the new Spathoglottis and the male parent, an unnamed selection of (Spathoglottis unguiculata×Spathoglottis plicata), have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Spathoglottis have larger flowers than the unnamed selection of (Spathoglottis unguiculata×Spathoglottis plicata).
2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Spathoglottis are larger than inflorescences of plants of the unnamed selection of (Spathoglottis unguiculatta×Spathoglottis plicata).
3. Flower color of plants of the new Spathoglottis is darker purple than flower color of plants of the unnamed selection of (Spathoglottis unguiculatta×Spathoglottis plicata).
4. Leaves of plants of the new Spathoglottis are broader than leaves of plants of the unnamed selection of (Spathoglottis unguiculata×Spathoglottis plicata).
Asexual propagation by divisions and tissue-culture of the new cultivar at Huissen, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Spathoglottis plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
The new Spathoglottis has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Lencaract`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Lencaract` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Relatively compact, upright plants.
2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
3. Elongated leaves that are upright to outwardly arching.
4. Numerous large dark purple flowers on strong and erect peduncles.
5. Long-lasting flowers and good post-production longevity.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical potted plant of `Lencaract`. Flower and leaf colors in the photograph may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bedburg-Hau, Germany, in a glass greenhouse under typical commercial conditions with day and night temperatures averaging 20 and 18° C., respectively, and light levels of about 3,000 lux.
