Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Bouvardia plant named ‘Royal Janette’ characterized by having bright orange/red flowers, dark-green foliage, short internodes, which makes it suitable for growing as a potplant, and excellent keeping quality.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Bouvardia plant, botanically known as Bouvardia Salisb., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Royal Janette’. Bouvardia is native to Mexico and other countries of Central America. The genus is named after the French medical doctor Charles Bouvard who lived from 1572 to 1657.
The genus Bouvardia is a member of the family Rubiaceae and mainly contains small shrubs. Generally, the flowers of Bouvardia contain a four-lobed calyx and a long tubular, funnel-shaped, corolla with four spreading lobes. There are two carpels and two stigmas and the fruit is a capsule.
Bouvardia plants are generally propagated by soft tip cuttings. For example, plants of the new variety are pruned under temperature conditions which prevent flower bud formation (20-22° C.). Young shoots with at least two well-developed leaf pairs are rooted.
‘Royal Janette’ is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new Bouvardia cultivars having improved quality and flowers of various colors. ‘Royal Janette’ was originated from a crossing made by the inventor in a controlled breeding program in Roelofarendsveen, the Netherlands, in 1990. The female parent was a proprietary Bouvardia selection designated 94.423.18. The male parent was a proprietary Bouvardia selection designated 94.423.7. ‘Royal Janette’ was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by the inventor, John M. F. de Jong, in a controlled environment in Roelofarendsveen, the Netherlands.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Royal Janette’ was accomplished when soft tip cuttings were taken from the initial selection in October 1997 in a controlled envirnoment in Roelofarendsveen, the Netherlands by John M. F. de Jong. Horticultural examination of selected units has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Royal Janette’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Royal Janette’ which, in combination, distinguish this Bouvardia as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Bright orange/red flowers;
2. Dark-green foliage;
3. Short internodes, which makes it suitable for growing as a potplant; and
4. Excellent keeping quality.
‘Royal Janette’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength without any change in genotype. The following observations, measurements, and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Roelofarendsveen, the Netherlands under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The accompanying color photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Royal Janette’, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type. The photograph shows a top view of the claimed cultivar in bloom showing the flower form.
The following observations, measurements and values describe 2 year old plants of Bouvardia ‘Royal Janette’ as grown in a green house in the Netherlands, with day temperatures approximately 25° C. and night temperatures approximately 18° C. 4 weeks is required to get the plants to flower a short day (10 hours of light per day).
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S).
