Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named 'Kiram', characterized by its numerous bright red-colored flowers; upright and spreading growth habit; very freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit; and dark green leaves.
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 Kiram.
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 early-flowering varieties with numerous flowers, uniform plant habit, attractive flower and foliage colors, and good flower form.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the proprietary selection identified as MF 614 as the male, or pollen parent, with the proprietary selection identified as MF 73 as the female, or seed parent.
The cultivar Kiram 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, in April, 1996.
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 `Kiram`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Kiram` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Numerous bright red-colored flowers.
2. Upright and spreading growth habit; "V"-shaped.
3. Very freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit.
4. Dark green leaves.
Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are smaller and have smaller and lighter-colored flowers than plants of the male parent, the proprietary selection identified as MF 614.
Compared to plants of the female parent, the proprietary selection identified as MF 73, plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are larger and have larger flowers and brighter flower color.
Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are similar in flower color to plants of the cultivar Lanai, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,397. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Lanai in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are taller and more spreading than plants of the cultivar Lanai.
2. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Lanai.
3. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are held higher above the foliage than flowers of plants of the cultivar Lanai.
4. Flowers of plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens are slightly larger than flowers of plants of the cultivar Lanai.
A detailed comparison of plants of the cultivars Kiram and Lanai 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. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new New Guinea Impatiens.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of `Kiram`.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a comparison close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of the cultivars Kiram (left) and Lanai (right). Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may differ from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
Plants of the cultivar Kiram have 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 three plants measured separately in 25-cm hanging baskets in Encinitas, Calif., under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 21 to 32° C. and night temperatures ranging from 16 to 18° C. and light levels of about 3,500 footcandles.
