Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named `Medina`, characterized by its numerous large pure white-colored flowers that are held above the foliage; rounded growth habit; medium plant height; freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit; glossy dark green leaves; and good resistance to Botrytis.
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 Medina.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Stuttgart, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to develop varieties with good branching, early flowering, floriferousness, attractive flower color, large round flowers, and Botrytis resistance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the New Guinea Impatiens selection identified as A 073, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent, with the New Guinea Impatiens selection identified as K 021, not patented, as the female, or seed parent.
The cultivar Medina was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1995 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Stuttgart, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Stuttgart, Germany, 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 `Medina`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Medina` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Numerous large pure white-colored flowers that are held above the foliage.
2. Rounded growth habit and medium plant height.
3. Freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit.
4. Glossy, dark green leaves.
5. Good resistance to Botrytis.
Compared to plants of the male parent, the while selection identified as A 073, plants of the new Impatiens are much more resistant to Botrytis. Compared to plants of the female parent, the while selection identified as K 021, plants of the new Impatiens flower earlier, grow faster, have more and large flowers and darker green foliage.
Plants of the new Impatiens are similar in flower color to plants of the nonpatented New Guinea Impatiens cultivar Ivrea. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Stuttgart, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens are more compact, have larger and more rounded flowers, and are more resistant to Botrytis than plants of the cultivar Ivrea.
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 `Medina`. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may differ from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
Plants of the cultivar Medina have 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 grown in Stuttgart, Germany, under greenhouse and outdoor production practices.
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.
