Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Loropetalum chinense and was discovered as a naturally occurring, whole-plant mutation in a cultivated planting of Loropetalum chinense in Angyo Kichi Zo, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
- the varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Hindwarf’.
- Loropetalum The genus Loropetalum is included in the family Hamamelidaceae that comprises about 15 genera of shrubs and trees growing in the northern hemisphere. Loropetalum comprises one species of evergreen shrub or small tree, which possesses desirable ornamental characteristics. Loropetalum was first introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant in the 1880s, and is believed to have been cultivated in North America since the early 1930s.
- Loropetalum chinense is a native of China, and was first discovered in 1928 in Hunan province. It was rediscovered in the late 1980s and subsequently introduced to the United States. Loropetalum chinense generally has alternate, ovate leaves to 6 cm. long and 3 cm. wide. The plant is evergreen or partly evergreen depending on winter temperature. Leaf color ranges from light to dark burgundy, occasionally green, depending on light intensity, cultural conditions and cultivar. Shoots are slender, brown, and densely pubescent, pit is solid. Leaves are generally densely pubescent overall.
- the new variety was discovered as a naturally occurring, whole plant mutation in a cultivated planting of Loropetalum chinense and differs from other cultivars known to the inventor in having a low growing, compact habit.
- ‘Hindwarf’ is distinguished from its parent and all other varieties of Loropetalum chinense of which I am aware by its prostrate, compact habit, reaching no more than 2 ft. in height and 3 to 6 ft. in width.
- the parent of ‘Hindwarf’ is an upright-growing shrub to about 12 ft. high and 6 ft. wide.
- Named varieties similar to the parent include Loropetalum chinense ‘Ruby’ (unpatented), which reaches about 4 ft. high and about 3 ft. wide at maturity; and the variety ‘Hines Purpleleaf’ (unpatented), which reaches about 3 ft. high and about 2 ft. wide at maturity.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the distinctive compact growth habit of a mature plant as well as the smaller leaf of a specimen grown in the United States.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the foliage of the new variety.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the unique flower color and flower size.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the mature foliage of the new variety.
- Loropetalum chinense ‘Hindwarf’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural, and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of plants grown in containers at Fulshear, Tex. and Lewisberry, Pa., and of plants growing in the landscape in Katy, Tex. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural, and environmental conditions. In this description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (1966) and terminology used in this color chart. As with many plants in the Hamamelidaceae family, phenotypic characteristics can be dramatically different in terms of growth morphology. For example, viewing this plant in Irvine, Calif., the growth habit is distinctly pendulous, growing down the pot and tending to have a horizontal growth form; in Fulshear, Tex. the plant is compact and upright with a mature height of about 2 feet.
- Botanical. Loropetalum chinense ‘Hindwarf’.
- Parentage Whole plant mutation of an unnamed plant of Loropetalum chinense.
- Branch number More than 1,000 branches and stems.
- Branch size Typical branch about 1 m. long, pendulous.
- Branch diameter Typical branch about 1 cm. in diameter; branch apex is typically about 1 mm. or less.
- Branch coloration Near Grayed-Orange Group 166B.
- Leaf shape Simple, alternate, ovate; obtuse to acute base, acute to obtuse apices.
- Leaf base Obtuse to acute. Occasionally unequal.
- Leaf texture/substance Firm to leathery; upper surface and glossy, with impressed veins; underside glaucous with greenish veins and whitish midrib, with scattered stellate hairs.
- Leaf color. Varies with intensity of sunlight and cultural conditions; the following color readings were taken in April, November and December, of plants grown in full sun conditions.
- New foliage Upper Surface: Near Near Greyed-Purple Group 187A. Under Surface: Near Red-Purple Group 59C.
- Mature foliage Upper Surface: Near Green Group 133A. Under Surface: Near Yellow-Green Group 147A.
- Size Approximately 1 to 3 mm. long; and approximately 0.8 mm. in diameter.
- Internodes About 0.5 to 1.5 cm. long.
- Leaf size About 1 to 2.5 cm. long; 1 to 1.5 cm. wide.
- Pests/diseases No pest or disease problems noted.
- Bloom period Early spring with occasional light repeat blooming throughout the growing season.
- Flower form Perfect, about 8 to 11 pinkish colored strap-like petals per flower.
- Flower size Approximately 1.5 to 2.0 cm long and about 1 to 2 mm wide.
- Diameter About 8 mm.
- Lastingness of individual blooms Between 2 and 3 weeks.
- Coloration Upper Surface: From near Red Group 55B to 51A, 53C, 52A and 53D. Lower Surface: From near Red group 55B and 51A, 52A and 53D.
- Type Ovoid, woody, 2-horned capsule, one seed per each cell.
