Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named `Balcelelro`, characterized by its reddish purple-colored flowers; floriferousness; upright and mounded plant habit; relatively tall plant size; vigor; good basal branching; and dark brown leaves.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as impatiens hawkeri, and hereinafter reffered to by the cultivar name `Balcelelro`.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Arroyo Grande, Calif. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new cultivars with excellent basal branching, medium upright growth habit, numerous large flowers, and interesting flower and foliage colors.
The new Impatiens orginated from a cross made by the Inventor of two unnamed proprietaty Impatiens hawkeri selections. The cultivar `Balcelelro` was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Arroyo Grande, Calif., in December, 1996.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Arroyo Grande, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new 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 `Balcelelro`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Balcelelro` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Reddish purple-colored flowers; very freely flowering.
2. Upright and mounded plant habit.
3. Relatively tall plant size; vigorous.
4. Good basal branching.
5. Dark brown leaves.
The new Impatiens can be compared to the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar `BSR-221 Electric Pink`, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,399. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Arroyo Grande, Calif., plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the cultivar `BSR- 221 Electric Pink` in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens have larger leaves than plants of the cultivar `BSR-221 Electric Pink`.
2. Leaves of plants of the new Impatiens are more rugose and glossier than leaves of plants of the cultivar `BSR-221 Electric Pink`.
3. Upper leaf surface of plants of the new Impatiens are dark brown in color whereas upper leaf surfaces of plants of the cultivar `BSR-221 Electric Pink` are green in color.
4. Flower color of plants of the new Impatiens is darker than flower color of plants of the cultivar `BSR-221 Electric Pink`.
A detailed comparison of plants of the cultivar `Balcelelro` and the cultivar `BSR-221 Electric Pink` appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
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 top perspective view of a typical plant of `Balcelelro`. Flower and foliage colors in the photograph may appear different than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The cultivar `Balcelelro` 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 observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants in 10-cm pots in Arroyo Grande, Calif., under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 20 to 22° C, night temperatures about 18 to 20° C., and light levels generally about 2,500 to 3,000 footcandles.
