Abstract

A new plant variety of Campsis radicans characterized by its flecked and mottled white variegated foliage, which is exhibited from the emergence of the foliage through maturity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Campsis radicans and was discovered as a branch sport in a controlled planting of Campsis radicans in Sakaino, Takarazuka City, Japan. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘TAKARAZUKA VARIEGATED’.
The genus Campsis is included in the family Bignoniaceae which comprises about 110 genera and 750 species of trees, shrubs, woody vines growing in the northern and southern hemispheres. The genus Campsis comprises 2 species, one native to North America and the other to East Asia, of deciduous shrubs climbing by aerial rootlets. In the landscape it can be used as a vine, both species possess desirable ornamental characteristics.
Campsis radicans (Linnaeus) B.C. Seemmann ex. Bureau is widespread and common throughout much of the Eastern United States from Pennsylvania to Missouri, Florida and Texas. It generally has opposite, odd-pinnately compound leaves about 15 to 40 cm long, about 2 to 10 cm wide, with an acuminate apex, lustrous dark green above and glabrous, pubescent beneath. The plant is deciduous. Flowers of Camsis radicans are perfect, with a wide-mouthed corolla, about 5 to 6 cm wide, borne 4 to 12 in terminal cymes from May until October. Flower color is yellow to orange to scarlet depending on the variety. The calyx teeth are short, triangular being much shorter than the flower tube. Of the varieties of Campsis radicans previously known to the inventor, all have green foliage ,and none exhibit variegated foliage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered as a branch sport in a controlled planting of Campsis radicans in Sakaino, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and differs from its parent and all other varieties of Campsis radicans known to the inventor in its flecked and mottled white variegated foliage, which is exhibited from the emergence of the foliage through maturity. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings performed in Sakaino Prefecture, Japan; Lewisberry, Pa.; Vacaville, Calif.; and Fulshear, Tex.; has confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations, and the new vqariety reproduces true to type.
COMPARISON WITH PARENT
‘TAKARAZUKA VARIEGATED’ is distinguished from its parent and all other varieties of Campsis radicans of which I am aware by its flecked and mottled white variegated foliage, which is exhibited from the emergence of the foliage through maturity.
DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
The accompanying photographic illustrations show a plant of the new cultivar as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
FIG. 1 illustrates the distinctive foliage variegation of a mature plant of the new variety;
FIG. 2 illustrates a leaflet of the new variety which exhibits the distinctive foliage variegation;
FIG. 3 illustrates an entire leaf of the new variety, which exhibits the distinctive foliage variegation;
FIG. 4 illustrates the flower panicle; the calyx size and shape distinction of the new variety from other species of Campsis; and
FIG. 5 illustrates a flower of the new variety with the characteristic variegated foliage shown in the background.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘TAKARAZUKA VARIEGATED’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural, and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of 3-year old plants, in 5-gallon nursery containers, grown in 50% shade in a production nursery setting in Vacaville, Calif., using a soiless media and liquid fertilizer. In this description, color references are to the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (1995) and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural, and environmental conditions.
