Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Aglaonema named `Illumination` particularly characterized by its outwardly arching growth habit; glossy silver green upper leaf surfaces with dark green, yellowish green and white spots and streaks; white petioles; tolerance to low temperatures; and resistance to diseases common to Aglaonema.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Aglaonema plant, botanically known as Aglaonema nitidum var. nitidum f. curtisii ×Aglaonema marantifolium tricolor and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Illumination`.
The new Aglaonema is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Quezon City, The Philippines. The new Aglaonema originated from a cross made by the inventor of the nonpatented Aglaonema nitidum var. nitidum f. curtisii cultivar `Jeannie` as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed plant of Aglaonema marantifolium tricolor as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar `Illumination` was discovered and selected by the inventor as a seedling within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Quezon City, The Philippines in August, 1986.
Plants of the new Aglaonema differ from plants of the parents, Aglaonema nitidum var. nitidum f. curtisii cultivar `Jeannie` and Aglaonema marantifolium tricolor, in petiole color, leaf color and leaf markings.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by divisions at Quezon City, The Philippines, and Zolfo Springs, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Aglaonema plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new Aglaonema has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, fertilizer rate, and/or irrigation amount and frequency without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Illumination`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Illumination` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Plants of the new Aglaonema are outwardly arching in growth.
2. The upper surfaces of mature leaves of plants of the new Aglaonema are glossy silver green with dark green, yellowish green and white spots and streaks.
3. The leaves of the new Aglaonema are relatively long.
4. Mature leaves of plants of the new Aglaonema have white petioles.
5. Plants of the new Aglaonema are tolerant of low temperatures, that is, ambient temperatures of about 8° C. do not cause foliar damage.
6. Plants of the new Aglaonema are resistant to diseases common to Aglaonema.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical single plant of `Illumination` in a 25-cm container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of the upper surfaces of a young leaf (top) and fully mature leaf (bottom). Leaf colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Zolfo Springs, Fla., under a polypropylene-covered shadehouse and conditions which closely approximate those used in horticultural practice. Plants were grown under day temperatures ranging from 21 to 38° C. and night temperatures ranging from 7 to 21° C. The polypropylene shade provided a 84 percent decrease in ambient light level. 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.
