Definitions
- the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Spathiphyllum plant, botanically known as Spathiphyllum hybrid , and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Grand Dad’.
- the new cultivar is the product of a breeding program carried out by the inventors Ann E. Lamb, David R. Lilly and Randy L. Allamand.
- the new cultivar named ‘Grand Dad’ is the result of a cross made in Apopka, Fla. in November of 1993.
- the female parent was a selection of Spathiphyllum ‘Mauna Loa’ known in the commercial trade as ‘Linda’ (unpatented).
- the male parent was a plant, found among seedling-derived Spathiphyllum ‘Mauna Loa’ named ‘Vibrant’ (unpatented) which was selected and maintained by the inventors and used only for breeding purposes.
- the new cultivar named ‘Grand Dad’ was discovered and selected by the inventors from a group of seedlings of the stated cross in Homestead, Fla. on Feb. 26, 1996. Propagation by tissue culture in the laboratories of Twyford Plant Laboratories, Inc., in Sebring, Fla., under the supervision of the inventors, was used to increase the number of plants for evaluation and has demonstrated the stability of the combination of characteristics as herein described are firmly fixed and reproduces true to type from generation to generation.
- Plants are large and ideally suited for pot sizes of 20 cm or larger;
- Leaves are dark-green, large and broad with a shiny surface
- spathes are large, ovate, cupped and are held just above the foliage on thick, sturdy peduncles. The spathes are pale green in color when newly open, becoming green with age; and
- ‘Grand Dad’ Of the commercial cultivars known to the inventors, the most similar in comparison to ‘Grand Dad’ is the cultivar ‘Gorgusis No. 1’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,964 and known in the commercial trade as ‘Sensation R’).
- the leaves of ‘Grand Dad’ In comparison to ‘Gorgusis No. 1’, the leaves of ‘Grand Dad’ have a shinier surface than the leaves of ‘Gorgusis No. 1’.
- the growth habit of ‘Gorgusis No. 1’ is more upright than that of ‘Grand Dad’.
- the foliage of ‘Grand Dad’ is flexible while the foliage of ‘Gorgusis No. 1’ is often brittle.
- the female parent ‘Linda’ is a large, upright growing variety used in 10-14 inch pots, with broad dark green leaves and large, bright white spathes held above the foliage.
- ‘Grand Dad’ is a larger plant and has larger, broader leaves with very glossy and shiny surfaces.
- the male parent ‘Vibrant’ is a very large plant with very large, shiny leaves and green spathes which are held just above the foliage.
- the growth habit of Spathiphyllum ‘Grand Dad’ is more upright and compact, and plants of ‘Grand Dad’ are more likely to branch than those of ‘Vibrant’.
- the spathes of ‘Grand Dad’ are pale green when newly open.
- the spathes of ‘Vibrant’ are darker green when newly open, and are larger than those of ‘Grand Dad’.
- Sheet 1 is a side view showing the inflorescence and foliage of a plant of ‘Grand Dad’.
- Sheet 2 is a close-up view of the inflorescence of the instant plant.
- Sheet 3 illustrates the upper leaf surface.
- Sheet 4 illustrates the lower leaf surface.
- Propagation Vegetative, by tissue culture.
- Plant Under appropriate growing conditions, plant attains a size of approximately 72 cm to 80 cm in height from the soil plane to the tip of the spathe, and approximately 100 cm to 120 cm in width.
- the leaf blade is ovate with an obtuse base and an acuminate to cuspidate apex which curves downward.
- the margins are entire and slightly wavy.
- the midrib is straight over approximately 2 ⁇ 3 the length of the leaf, and curved downward somewhat toward the leaf tip.
- the leaves are leathery and flexible.
- the upper leaf surface is textured and shiny.
- Leaf blades are approximately 36 cm to 42 cm in length and approximately 18.5 cm to 26 cm width.
- Petiole. Approximately 38 cm to 45 cm in length from the base of the petiole to the base of the leaf blade on primary shoots. The petiole is approximately 9 mm in diameter at the junction of the geniculum and petiole sheath. The portion of the petiole below the geniculum is straight.
- Petiole sheath Approximately 30 cm to 40 cm in length and approximately 10 mm to 14 mm in width at the midpoint. The tip of the petiole sheath is bluntly rounded or tapered flush with the petiole. The petiole sheath terminates at or about 1.8 cm below the base of the geniculum.
- Geniculum Approximately 6.2 cm to 9.1 cm in length and approximately 1.15 cm in diameter. The color is darker than, but closest to, RHS 146B.
- Veins are sunken and the leaf blade convex between veins on the upper surface giving the leaf a textured appearance.
- the midrib is sunken.
- Well defined primary veins radiate out from the midrib over the length of the leaf. There are approximately 15 pairs of primary veins on the leaf.
- Leaf Upper surface: Greener than, but closest to, RHS 139A.
- Lower surface Darker than, but closest to, RHS 137B to RHS 137C.
- Midrib Upper surface: Darker than, but closest to, RHS 137A to RHS 137B.
- Lower surface RHS 146C.
- Petiole Darker and greener than, but closest to, RHS 137A.
- Petiole sheath Darker and greener than, but closest to, RHS 137A.
- the spathe is tightly rolled around the spadix and emerges from the petiole sheath.
- the spathe is fully open approximately when the peduncle is fully elongated — approximately 85 cm to 90 cm above the soil surface, measured at the tallest point.
- the peduncle is approximately 68 cm to 74 cm in length measured from the crown of the plant to the base of the spathe.
- the peduncle is approximately 8 mm to 9 mm in diameter measured at the midpoint of the peduncle.
- the peduncle is darker and greener than, but closest to, RHS 146A to RHS 146B.
- the spathe is approximately 19.0 cm to 24.5 cm long and approximately 11.0 cm to 13.5 cm in width. It is cupped, approximately 3.0 cm in depth.
- Apex Front is RHS 145 D tinged with 150 D; the back is RHS 146C.
- Front surface RHS 145A to RHS 145B streaked with RHS 146B.
- Back surface Darker and greener than, but closest to, RHS 145A streaked with RHS 146B; midrib is greener than, but closest to, RHS 146B.
- Apex The front is RHS 145 A, the back is RHS 146B to RHS 146C.
- the spathe terminates as a thick, straight peduncle which opens vertically just above the leaves.
- the spathe is broadly ovate with an obtuse base and an acuminate, twisted apex.
- Fragrance Sweet, pleasant, moderately fragrant, most noticeable in the morning.
- Spadix Size: Approximately 10 cm in length and approximately 1.7 cm in diameter. Quantity: Approximately 250 flowers per spadix. Color: When the spathe unrolls, the spadix is RHS 158B to RHS 158C gradually changing to green, RHS 146C, as the inflorescence ages. Stamens: Firmly affixed against the pistil. Not clearly visible until pollen is produced. Pollen: RHS 158D. Pistil: RHS 158B to RHS 158C in color, conical, protruding between the staminate flowers, fixed to the main axil. One pistil per flower. The pistillate flowers extend approximately 3.0 mm beyond the staminate flowers.
- Seeds Approximately 2 mm in diameter, reniform in shape, light to medium brown in color. Surface texture of seed coat is pitted. Each individual capsule contains approximately 1-6 seeds. Depending on size and degree of pollination, a single inflorescence can yield 750+ seeds.
- Roots Thick, white roots with abundant fine laterals.
- Pest/disease/resistance susceptibility Preventative disease and pest control measures used to grow crops of ‘Grand Dad’ are typical of ordinary commercial practice. ‘Grand Dad’ has no sensitivity to common pests or pathogens observed to date.
