Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Angelonia plant named ‘Balanglapi’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely basal branching growth habit; and light violet-colored flowers.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DENOMINATION
Angelonia augustifolia cultivar Balanglapi.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Angelonia plant, botanically known as Angelonia augustifolia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Balanglapi’.
The new Angelonia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Arroyo Grande, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new vigorous Angelonia cultivars that have a freely branching growth habit and numerous flowers with attractive coloration.
The new Angelonia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1999 of a proprietary Angelonia augustifolia selection identified as code number 142, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary Angelonia augustifolia selection identified as code number BFP-272, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The cultivar Balanglapi was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in Arroyo Grande, Calif. since June, 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Angelonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Balanglapi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Balanglapi’ as a new and distinct Angelonia cultivar:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
2. Freely basal branching growth habit.
3. Light violet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Angelonia differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower coloration.
Plants of the new Angelonia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Pandiana, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in West Chicago, Ill., plants of the new Angelonia differed from plants of the cultivar Pandiana in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Angelonia had shorter flower racemes than plants of the cultivar Pandiana.
2. Plants of the new Angelonia had more flowers per raceme than plants of the cultivar Pandiana.
3. Plants of the new Angelonia had shorter pedicels than plants of the cultivar Pandiana.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Angelonia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of multiple flowering plants of ‘Balanglapi’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flowering raceme of ‘Balanglapi’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar Balanglapi 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 aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in West Chicago, Ill., under commercial practice in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 20 to 24° C., night temperatures ranging from 16 to 20° C. and light levels ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 footcandles. Rooted young plants were planted in containers and had been growing for about eight to ten weeks when the photographs and the description were taken.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
