Abstract
A new plant variety of Camellia rosthorniana characterized by its upright growth habit and large flowers with reddish-pink colored outer petals.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Camellia rosthorniana, which was discovered in 1991 as a seedling selection in a controlled planting of Camellia rosthorniana (unpatented) in Kawasguchi City, Japan. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘ELINA’.
The genus Camellia is included in the family Theaceae which comprises about 25 genera shrubs and trees, mostly tropical and subtropical in origin, and native to the northern and southern hemispheres. Camellia comprises more than 80 species of evergreen shrubs or trees, many of which possess desirable ornamental characteristics.
Camellia rosthorniana Hand.-Mazz (1925) is a shrub growing 3 m tall, generally having narrow to broad elliptic leaves with blunt to long acuminate apices, 2.5 to 4.2 cm long and 9 to 18 mm wide. Flowers are white, pedicellate, 1.1 to 1.4 cm across, with 5 to 7 petals. Camellia rosthorniana is a shrub widespread and common throughout Guizhou and Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan Provinces, China. The plant is evergreen. Leaf color is dark green depending on light intensity.
The new variety was discovered as a seedling in a controlled planting of Camellia rosthorniana and differs from its parent in having pink flower buds as well as pink at the base of the encasing exterior flower petals, and larger flowers and an upright growth habit with significantly smaller leaves than the species. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings performed in Saitama Prefecture, Japan; Lewisberry, Pa.; Vacaville, Calif.; Irvine, Calif.; and Fulshear, Tex.; have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations.
‘ELINA’ is distinguished from its parent and all other varieties of Camellia rosthorniana of which I am aware in its production of attractive pink buds and flowers with reddish-pink colored outer petals, as well as larger flowers and smaller leaves than the parent.
The accompanying illustrations show a specimen of the new variety in photographic illustration as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in illustrations of this character.
FIG. 1 illustrates the variety in bloom and the upright growth habit and the distinct pink inflorescence;
FIG. 2 illustrates the flower bud with the pink coloration when closed as well as the smaller leaf and open flower front view in approximate scale of the flower bud to the plant;
FIG. 3 illustrates the flower parts and shows that the outer flower petals have pink coloration while the inner ones only exhibit a slight pink coloration, but are primarily white; and
FIG. 4 illustrates the flower bud when open with the pink coloration of the outer flower petals.
‘ELINA’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of 2-year-old plants, in 5-gallon nursery containers, grown in an unheated greenhouse under 70% shade during summer months, in a production nursery setting in Vacaville, Calif. 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.
