Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lotus Vine plant named `Amazon Sunset`, characterized by its soft orange flowers; numerous flowers per plant; long flowering period; freely branching, dense plant habit; and spreading, pendulous and trailing habit.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lotus Vine plant, botanically known as Lotus berthelotii×Lotus maculata, and hereinafter referred to as `Amazon Sunset`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventors in Coquille, Oreg. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Lotus Vine cultivars having unique flower colors and long flowering period.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventors in May, 1994, of the red-flowered Lotus berthelotii cultivar `Red Flash` (not patented) as the male, or pollen, parent with an unnamed proprietary Lotus maculata seedling selection with yellow flowers as the female, or seed, parent.
The cultivar Amazon Sunset was discovered and selected by the inventors as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Coquille, Oreg. The selection of this plant was based on its unique flower colors and long flowering period.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Coquille, Oreg., has shown that the unique features of this new Lotus Vine are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
COMPARISON
Comparing the instant plant to the plant in the co-pending U.S. Plant Patent application Ser. No. 08/938,579, the instant plant is distinct as follows:
a) from a distance of a few feet, the instant plant's flowers have a distinguishable red/yellow bi-color appearance while the co-pending plant's flowers take on an apricot color;
b) the instant plant produces more flowers over a longer flowering time.
VERNALIZING
Typical requirements are at least 30 days with night temperatures below 40° F. and above 32° F.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Amazon Sunset`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Lotus Vine as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Soft orange flowers.
2. Numerous flowers per plant.
3. Long flowering period.
4. Freely branching, dense plant habit.
5. Spreading, pendulous and trailing habit.
The new Lotus Vine has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light and fertility level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and flower color of the new Lotus Vine, 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 typical plants of the new Lotus Vine in a hanging basket container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical leaves and flowers of the new Lotus Vine. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Coquille, Oreg., grown under double layer of polyethylene with day temperatures ranging from 23 to 30° C. and night temperatures ranging from 10 to 18° C., and light levels ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 footcandles.
