Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Codiaeum plant named ‘GRU CO9901’, characterized by its upright and compact growth habit; uniquely-colored green, yellow and dark pink variegated leaves that do not fade during the winter; thick and strong leaves; and excellent post-production longevity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Codiaeum plant, botanically known as Codiaeum variegatum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘GRU CO9901’.
The new Codiaeum originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1992, in Rockanje, The Netherlands, of the Codiaeum variegatum cultivar Petra, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Codiaeum variegatum cultivar Iceton, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Codiaeum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Rockanje, The Netherlands. The selection of this plant was based on its unique leaf coloration.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar at Rockanje, The Netherlands, by terminal cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Codiaeum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Codiaeum has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘GRU CO9901’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘GRU CO9901’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and compact growth habit.
2. Uniquely-colored green, yellow and dark pink variegated leaves that do not fade during the winter.
3. Thick and strong leaves.
4. Excellent post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Codiaeum can be compared to plants of the parent cultivars. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rockanje, The Netherlands, plants of the new Codiaeum differed from plants of the parent cultivars Petra and Iceton in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Codiaeum have thicker and stronger leaves than plants of the cultivars Petra and Iceton.
2. Plants of the new Codiaeum and the cultivars Petra and Iceton differ in leaf coloration.
3. Leaves of plants of the cultivars Petra and Iceton fade during the winter whereas leaves of plants of the new Codiaeum do not fade during the winter.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Codiaeum. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a four-month old typical potted plant of ‘GRU CO9901’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Rockanje, The Netherlands, in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 21 to 27° C. and night temperatures about 20 to 22° C. Plants were about four months from planting and were grown in 17-cm containers. In this description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
