Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Disanthus cercidifolius substantially as herein shown and described, characterized as to novelty by its irregular cream and cream-yellow leaf margins surrounding greyed-silvered bluish-green leaf centers, splashed occasionally with cream color.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Disanthus cercidifolius Maximowicz which was discovered as a chance seedling (natural mutation) in a controlled planting (of seedlings) by Mr. Seiju Yamaguchi, Ashimata, Okute-cho, Mizunami-shi, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘SEIJU YAMAGUCHI’.
The genus Disanthus is included in the family Hamamelidaceae, which comprises about 28 genera and 90 species of deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs growing in the northern and southern hemispheres. Disanthus is a monotypic genus comprised of 1 species, native to Japan and China. It is a broad-spreading deciduous shrub with good ornamental features. It generally has alternate, simple, glabrous, entire, broad-ovate to orbicular, base cordate to subcordate leaves with a rounded to obtuse or acute apex, 5 to 11 cm long, 5 to 11 cm wide, with a petiole 3 to 5 cm long, palmately veined.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered as a seedling in a controlled garden and differs from its parent in having striking variegated foliage. Irregular cream and cream-yellow margins surround greyed-silver bluish-green centers of the leaf, splashed occasionally with cream color. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by grafting in Gifu Prefecture, Japan has confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
The accompanying illustrations show 3-year-old specimens of the new cultivar in a photo illustration as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
FIG. 1 shows typical summer foliage of the variety ‘SEIJU YAMAGUCHI’;
FIG. 2 shows typical leaves, upper and undersides, of the variety ‘SEIJU YAMAGUCHI’, and the characteristic pattern of foliage variegation.
COMPARISON WITH THE PARENT
The new variety differs from its parent, which exhibits dark bluish-green foliage, in showing an irregular white-cream, cream-yellow margin with irregular blotches of bluish gray-green and silver-green shades throughout the mid-blade.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘SEIJU YAMAGUCHI’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural, and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of five-year-old plants grown in 5-gallon nursery containers at Lewisberry, Pa. and Forest Grove, Oreg. 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.
