Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named `214`, characterized by its medium pink-colored flowers; freely flowering habit; outwardly spreading, rounded and mounding growth habit; freely branching plant habit; and dark green, matte, non-variegated 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 `214`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Gensingen, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new varieties that have a uniform plant habit, attractive flower colors, good flower form and numerous flowers per plant.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of a proprietary seedling selection identified as Q672 as the male, or pollen parent, with the proprietary seedling selection identified as I212 as the female, or seed patent. The cultivar `214` was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Gensingen, Germany. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Gensingen, 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 `214`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `214` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Medium pink-colored flowers.
2. Freely flowering.
3. Outwardly spreading, rounded and mounding growth habit.
4. Freely branching plant habit.
5. Dark green, matte, non-variegated foliage.
The new New Guinea Impatiens is similar in flower color to the New Guinea Impatiens cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,213). However in side-by-side comparisons in Encinitas, Calif. under commercial practice, plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon` in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens more outwardly spreading than plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon`.
2. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon`.
3. Leaves of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are solid green in color whereas leaves of plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon` are variegated in color. In addition, the color of the lower leaf surfaces of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens is dark red whereas the color of the lower leaf surfaces of plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon` is green.
4. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are slightly smaller and less rounded than flowers of plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon`.
5. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens have a tri-color appearance whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon` have a bi-color appearance.
6. Flower color of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens does not fade compared to plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon`.
7. Flower peduncles of the new New Guinea Impatiens are longer but not as upright as flower peduncles of plants of the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon`.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens and the cultivar `BFP-397 Light Salmon` appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 first photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of `214`. The second photograph comprises a close-up view of typical flowers and upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of leaves of the cultivars `BFP-397 Light Salmon` (top of photo) and `214` (bottom of photo).
The flower and foliage colors in the photographs may differ from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The cultivar `214` 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 grown 25-cm hanging baskets in Encinitas, Calif., under commercial practice in a fiberglass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 23 to 29C. and night temperatures ranging from 16 to 18C and light levels averaging 3,000 footcandles.
