Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Spathiphyllum plant named `Ceasar`, characterized by its tall, upright plants; large leaves that are held upright to horizontal to the petiole; moderate to high vigor and moderate growth rate; numerous large white spathes that are positioned above the foliage on strong and erect peduncles; and long-lasting inflorescences.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Spathiphyllum plant, botanically known as Spathiphyllum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Ceasar`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned and controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Spathiphyllum cultivars with good plant habit and attractive leaf and flower colors.
The new cultivar originated from a cross by the Inventor between the Spathiphyllum cultivar `Ceres` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,844) and an unnamed selection of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum as the male or pollen parent. The cultivar `Ceasar` was discovered and selected by the Inventor in May, 1995 as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, the following differences between the new Spathiphyllum and the female parent, the cultivar `Ceres`, have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum are taller than plants of the cultivar `Ceres`.
2. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum are more open than plants of the cultivar `Ceres`.
3. Leaves of plants of the new Spathiphyllum are lighter green and larger than leaves of plants of the cultivar `Ceres`.
4. Spathes of plants of the new Spathiphyllum are larger but not as white as spathes of plants of the cultivar `Ceres`.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, the following differences between the new Spathiphyllum and the male parent, an unnamed selection of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum, have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum are shorter than plants of the unnamed selection of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum.
2. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum are denser than plants of the unnamed selection of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum.
3. Leaves of plants of the new Spathiphyllum are lighter green, less glossy, longer and more narrow than leaves of plants of the unnamed selection of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum.
4. Spathes of plants of the new Spathiphyllum are white whereas spathes of plants of the unnamed selection of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum are green in color.
Asexual propagation by divisions and tissue-culture of the new cultivar at De Kwakel, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Spathiphyllum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
The new Spathiphyllum 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.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Ceasar`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Ceasar` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Tall, upright plants.
2. Large leaves that are held upright to horizontal to the petiole.
3. Moderate to high vigor and moderate growth rate.
4. Numerous large white spathes that are positioned above the foliage on strong and erect peduncles.
5. Long-lasting infloresences.
Plants of the new Spathiphyllum can be compared to plants of the commercial Spathiphyllum cultivar `Sensation` (not patented). In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, the following differences between the new Spathiphyllum and the cultivar `Sensation` have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum are shorter than plants of the cultivar `Sensation`.
2. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum considerably denser than plants of the cultivar `Sensation`.
3. Leaves of plants of the new Spathiphyllum are lighter green and less glossy than leaves of plants of the cultivar `Sensation`.
4. Spathes of plants of the new Spathiphyllum are smaller and not as white as spathes of plants of the cultivar `Sensation`.
5. Plants of the new Spathiphyllum flower earlier than plants of the cultivar `Sensation`.
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 Spathiphyllum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical potted plant of `Ceasar`.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of `Ceasar`.
The photograph on the third sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical spathe and spadix of `Ceasar`.
The photograph on the fourth sheet comprises a close-up view of the back of a typical spathe of `Ceasar`. Spathe and leaf colors in the photographs 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 grown in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, in a glass greenhouse under typical commercial conditions with day and night temperatures averaging 22 and 19° C., respectively, and light levels of about 22,000 to 28,000 lux.
