Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Aglaonema named `White Lance` particularly characterized by its mostly upright and somewhat outwardly arching plant habit; dense and full appearance; propensity to readily produce divisions; upper leaf surfaces that are glossy silver green with dark green margins; relatively long and lanceolate leaves; light green petioles with darker green spots/splotches on the wings; low temperature tolerance; 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 hybrid, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name White Lance.
The new Aglaonema is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Valkaria, Fla. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new lanceolate leaf-shaped Aglaonemas with a full and dense appearance. The new Aglaonema originated from a cross made by the inventor in 1988 of the Aglaonema hybrid cultivar Bayonet (not patented) as the female, or seed, parent with the Aglaonema hybrid cultivar Ernesto's Favorite (not patented) as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar White Lance was discovered and selected by the inventor as a seedling within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Valkaria, Fla.
Compared to plants of the female parent cultivar, Bayonet, leaves of plants of the new Aglaonema are shorter and narrower. In addition, leaves of plants of the cultivar Bayonet do not have the distinct dark green leaf margin characteristic of plants of the new Aglaonema.
Compared to plants of the male parent cultivar, Ernesto's Favorite, leaves of plants of the new Aglaonema are much narrower and have a narrower dark green leaf margin.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by divisions at Zolfo Springs, Fla. since 1988, 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 `White Lance`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `White Lance` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Plants of the new Aglaonema are mostly upright and somewhat outwardly arching in plant habit.
2. Petioles are closely spaced giving plants a dense and full appearance.
3. Plants of the new Aglaonema readily produce divisions.
4. The upper surfaces of mature leaves of plants of the new Aglaonema are glossy silver green with dark green margins.
5. The leaves of the new Aglaonema are relatively long and lanceolate.
6. Mature leaves of plants of the new Aglaonema have light green petioles with darker green spots/splotches on the wings.
7. Plants of the new Aglaonema are tolerant of low temperatures, that is, ambient temperatures of about 4° C. do not cause foliar damage.
8. Plants of the new Aglaonema are resistant to diseases common to Aglaonema.
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 plant of `White Lance` in a 25.5-cm container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of the upper surface of a mature leaf. Leaf colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
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.
