Definitions
- the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Guzmania plant, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Anton’.
- the genus Guzmania is a member of the family Bromeliaceae.
- Guzmania comprise a genus of over 100 species of herbaceous evergreen perennials suitable for cultivation in the home or under glass. Guzmania are predominantly epiphytic with a few terrestrial species and are native to the tropics. For the most part the species vary in diameter from 7 to 8 inches to 3 or 4 feet and have rosettes of glossy, smooth edged leaves.
- Floral bracts of Guzmania frequently have brilliant colors and may last for many months.
- the range of flower colors for Guzmania is generally from the yellow through orange but may also include flame red and red-purple.
- White or yellow, tubular, three petalled flowers may also appear on a stem or within the leaf rosette but are usually short lived.
- Guzmania may be advantageously grown as potted plants for greenhouse or home use. Desirably the plants are shaded from direct sunlight during the spring to autumn period, the central vase-like part of the leaf rosette is normally filled with water.
- Guzmania is native to tropical America. Leaves of the Guzmania are usually formed as basal rosettes which are stiff and entire and in several vertical ranks. Guzmania have terminal spikes or panicles which are often bracted with petals united in a tube about as long as the calyx.
- Propagation can also be from off-shoots which are detached from the mother plant, and may be grown in an appropriate soil or bark mixture.
- the new cultivar ‘Anton’ is the product of a planned breeding program and was originated by the inventor, Herbert H. Hill, Jr., from a cross made during such program in Lithia, Fla. in May of 1992.
- the female or seed parent is Guzmania ‘Ultra’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,221).
- the male or pollen parent is a proprietary selection of Guzmania wittmackii .
- the selection comprising the new variety was chosen after commencement of flowering in October of 1995.
- the new cultivar was asexually propagated by off-shoots by the inventor in Lithia, Fla. beginning in January 1996. Asexual propagation by tissue culture was initiated in March of 1996. Continuous asexual propagation has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar ‘Anton’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
- Inflorescence is tall, upright and dark-purple in color
- Foliage is dark olive-green and is flushed or streaked with purple on the undersides of the leaves. It is also resistant to leaf tip browning and leaf spotting;
- Plants are best adapted to smaller pot sizes 10-12.5 cm.
- ‘Anton’ In comparison to the male parental cultivar Guzmania wittmackii , ‘Anton’ produces a tall purple bracted inflorescence, though not at tall as the red-orange bracted scape of Guzmania wittmackii .
- the brackets of ‘Anton’ are shorter, broader, and more closely spaced that those of G. wittmackii.
- the accompanying photographic illustration shows a 12-month-old ‘Anton’ plant following growth under appropriate growing conditions, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
- the illustration depicts a side view of the inflorescence and foliage characteristics of ‘Anton’ grown from an off-shoot in a 12-cm pot.
- Female parent. Guzmania hybrid cv. Ultra.
- the basal leaves are approximately 27 cm-32 cm long and 2.3 cm-3.0 cm wide (flattened). At their widest point near the base, the leaves are approximately 4.7 cm to 5.4 cm wide.
- the leaf blade is ligulate with an acute tip.
- the leaf blade is channeled.
- the margins are entire.
- the leaves are curved outward over their length.
- the leaf blade is stiff and leathery, with a glossy surface.
- the leaves are dark-green throughout the foliage.
- the undersides of the leaves are dark-green in base color, flushed and striated with purple.
- the upper surface is darker than, but closest to, RHS 137A, and the lower surface is greener than, but closest to, RHS 137A, often flushed and striated with RHS 187A.
- Average number. The plant produces approximately 24 leaves before producing an inflorescence.
- the bracts vary in length, the upper-most terminal bracts being approximately 6 cm long and 2 cm wide.
- the color of both the upper and lower surfaces of most terminal bracts is RHS 59C, becoming RHS 150D at the base.
- the primary bracts which cover branch spikes are approximately 11.5 cm to 13.5 cm long, and 2.5 cm to 3.0 cm wide.
- the base of the primary bract at the attachment point to the scape may be approximately 5 cm in width.
- the color of both the upper and lower surfaces of the largest most colorful primary bracts is RHS 59A to RHS 59B, becoming green RHS 145D to RHS 146C at the base. There are vertical stripes present on both upper and lower surfaces, RHS 59B.
- the scape bracts are approximately 14 cm to 24 cm in length and 2.5-3.0 cm wide.
- the base of the scape bract at the attachment point to the scape may be approximately 4.5 cm in width.
- the color of both the upper and lower surfaces of the scape bracts is RHS 137A at the tip, becoming purple RHS 59B to RHS 59C, with RHS 145D to RHS 146C at the base.
- the bracts are lanceolate with acute tips, and are arranged in closely spaced vertical ranks along the inflorescence.
- Scape. The scape is approximately 45 cm tall, approximately 10 mm in diameter, and RHS 145A to RHS 145C in color.
- Branch spikes The inflorescence contains branch spikes which protrude from under primary bracts, each containing approximately 8 flowers.
- the bracts of the branch spikes are similar in color and dimension to the terminal bracts.
- the inflorescence will hold its color approximately 2-3 months. Individual flowers last 1 day, and the total duration of flowering is about 6 weeks.
- Ovary. Superior, three locules, 6 mm long, RHS 145D in color.
- Stamens. Six present, filament 4.1 cm long, anthers 5.5 mm long, RHS 11B in color.
- Roots are greenish-white, changing to brown, wiry with fine laterals.
- Pest/disease susceptibility Typical of Guzmania plants, no particular susceptibility to common pests or disease.
