Abstract
A Clerodendrum plant named ‘Brandonii’ characterized by having distinctive variegation on the upper surface of leaves which are dark-green with irregular patchy lighter green becoming cream colored towards the edge. The variegation becomes yellow in full sunlight but remains cream-colored in partial shade. The edges of leaves appear somewhat deformed especially around heavy areas of variegation. The growth rate of ‘Brandonii’ is approximately 50% slower than the parent selection.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Clerodendrum known by the cultivar name ‘Brandonii’.
The new cultivar was selected by the inventor, Mark B. Herndon, in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in 1995. The cultivar was discovered by the inventor as a naturally occurring mutation of Clerodendrum quadriloculare commonly known by the name ‘Shooting Star’.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings was performed by the inventor in a controlled environment in June, 1995, in Ft. Lauerdale, Fla., and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Brandonii’ are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Brandonii’ which in combination distinguish this Clerodendrum as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. distinctive variegation on the upper surface of leaves which are dark-green with irregular patchy lighter green becoming cream colored towards the edge;
2. variegation becomes yellow in full sunlight but remains cream-colored in partial shade;
3. edges of leaves appear somewhat deformed especially around heavy areas of variegation; and
4. growth rate approximately 50% slower than the parent selection.
‘Brandonii’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditons. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength without any change in genotype.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present invention, the most similar in comparison to ‘Brandonii’ is the parent C. quadriloculare named ‘Shooting Star’ (unpatented). ‘Brandonii’ plants are shorter, bushier, and grow more slowly than ‘Shooting Star’. The leaves of ‘Brandonii’ are flatter and stiffer than the leaves of ‘Shooting Star’. The upper surface of the leaves of ‘Brandonii’ are tri-colored and show more irregular variegation and quilting than the leaves of ‘Shooting Star’ which are primarily dark-green in color. ‘Brandonii’ shows similar flower characteristics as ‘Shooting Star’, but the exterior throat color is slightly paler for flowers of ‘Brandonii’.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows a typical ‘Brandonii’ plant following growth under appropriate growing conditions, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
FIG. 1 is a top view of a flower of ‘Brandonii’.
FIG. 2 is a close-up view of the leaves of ‘Brandonii’ showing the distinctive variegation.
The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grownin Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in full and partial sun, under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commerical practice. The age of the observed plant is 5 years old. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.), except where general colors of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined in Washington, D.C. by reviewing various color photographs of a typical ‘Brandonii’ plant.
