Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant named `Tioga Red`, characterized by its large purple red flowers; flowers held above or beyond the foliage; consistently double and symmetrical flower form; numerous flowers per plant; freely branching, dense plant habit; upright and slightly arching plant habit, triangular in shape; and dark green foliage.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Tioga Red`.
The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of a unnamed proprietary seedling selection. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventors in a controlled environment in Coquille, Ore., in July, 1991, as a single lateral branch of a plant of the unnamed proprietary seedling selection. This single lateral branch was chosen as it produced fully double flowers. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Coquille, Ore., has shown that the unique features of this new Double 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 `Tioga Red`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Double Impatiens as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large purple red flowers.
2. Flowers held above or beyond the foliage.
3. Consistently double and symmetrical flower form.
4. Numerous flowers per plant.
5. Freely branching, dense plant habit.
6. Upright and slightly arching plant habit, triangular in shape.
7. Dark green foliage.
In contrast to plants of the new Double Impatiens, plants of the parent proprietary seedling selection had semi-double flowers with reproductive organs and capable of producing seed.
The new Double Impatiens is similar in flower color to the Double Impatiens cultivar Rosebud Red (not patented). However in side-by-side comparisons in Coquille, Ore., under commercial practice, plants of the new Double Impatients differed from plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Double Impatiens are taller and more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red.
2. Plants of the new Double Impatiens are upright and triangular in shape whereas plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red cascade downwards.
3. Plants of the new Double Impatiens are more freely branching and are denser than plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red.
4. Leaves of plants of the new Double Impatiens are longer and narrower with longer petioles than leaves of plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red.
5. Flowers of plants of the new Double Impatiens face upward or outward whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red face outward or downward as peduncles of plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red are weaker than peduncles of the new Double Impatiens.
6. Flowers of the new Double Impatiens are smaller than flowers of the cultivar Rosebud Red.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new Double Impatiens and the cultivar Rosebud Red appears in Chart A at the end of the specification .
The new Double Impatines 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 Double 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 Double Impatiens.
The second photograph comprises a side perspective view of typical plants of the cultivar Rosebud Red (left) and the new Double 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, Ore., 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.
