Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Lysimachia punctata plant named `Alexander`, characterized by its upright, vigorous and freely branching growth habit; green and cream-white variegated foliage; numerous yellow flowers that flower continuously throughout the summer; and good garden performance.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lysimachia plant, botanically known as Lysimachia punctata and refered to by the cultivar name Alexander. The new Lysimachia is named in honor of the inventor's late husband, Mr. Donald Stuart Alexander. The new cultivar is a naturally-occurring leaf color mutation of the species Lysimachia punctata. In the summer of 1990, the new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated outdoor area in Acomb, York, United Kingdom, within a population of plants of the species Lysimachia punctata.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Walburton, Arundel, Sussex, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Lysimachia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Alexander`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Alexander` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright, vigorous and freely branching growth habit.
2. Green and cream-white variegated foliage.
3. Numerous yellow flowers that flower continuously throughout the summer.
4. Good garden performance.
The cultivar Alexander 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.
Plants of the new Lysimachia are similar to the parent species Lysimachia punctata in all characteristics with the exception of leaf and sepal variegation. A detailed comparison of the differences between plants of the new Lysimachia and the species Lysimachia punctataappears 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 typical flowering plants of `Alexander` in a garden setting. Foliage and flower 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 flowered in a glass greenhouse in February in Walburton, Arundel, Sussex, United Kingdom. Day temperatures ranged from 16 to 21° C and night temperatures ranged from 10 to 16° C. Plants were exposed to a 20-hour daylength until January. Measurements and numerical values represent ranges or averages for six typical flowering plants.
