Abstract
A new and distinct selection of Plumbago shrub, denominated as Plumbago auriculata named ‘Monite’ characterized by its unique combination of longer bloom season of a floriferous habit of white flowers with larger and wider petals and a more dense compact growth habit.
Description
This invention relates to a new and distinct selection of Plumbago auriculata, which is native to Southern Africa, and a member of the Leadwort family. The new variety, Plumbago auriculata cv. ‘Monite’ resulted from a naturally occurring, whole plant mutation which was discovered in May of 1999 in a cultivated planting of Plumbago auriculata ‘Monott’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,822). ‘Monite’ exhibited a white flower in #1 nursery containers in Azusa, Calif. The ‘Monite’ selection differs from ‘Monott’ by possessing a white flower versus the rich blue flower of ‘Monott’. ‘Monite’ differs from other Plumbago plants by its combination of floriferous habit of white flowers and larger and wider petals and a more dense compact growth habit.
The new plant has been asexually reproduced by cuttings since its discovery in 1999 in Azusa, Calif. Through extensive asexual propagation of this plant and observation, it has been established that the plant is true to type and the novel, exceptional characteristics of this new plant are fixed and stable and reliably passed on to progeny through asexual reproduction.
Plumbago auriculata cultivar ‘Monite’ possesses a white flower. Other white flowering Plumbago plants do exist, however; the individual flowers do not exhibit the larger size and fullness associated with the overlapping flower petals of cultivar ‘Monite’.
The compact growth habit of cultivar ‘Monite’ sets this plant apart from other Plumbago plants which are generally sprawling, mounding plants with a height of 6-8 feet and 8-10 foot spread. The growth habit of cultivar ‘Monite’ is slightly smaller than ‘Monott’.
The cultivar ‘Monite’ typically will bloom for eight to nine months of the year in Southern California commencing bloom before even the early cultivar ‘Monott’. Comparison of other Plumbago plants demonstrate cultivar ‘Monite’ has the propensity to conspicuously grow less and flower more when grown under similar conditions.
FIG. 1 photograph exhibits a close up of the inflorescence of cultivar ‘Monite’.
FIG. 2 photograph shows the comparison of cultivar ‘Monite’ on the right and cultivar ‘Monott’ on the left and the similarity of flower size and contrast of flower color.

Margin.—Entire, slightly undulate.
Color.—Mature upper surface: Yellow Green Group 146A. Mature lower surface: Yellow Green Group 146B. Juvenile upper surface: Yellow Green Group 146B. Juvenile lower surface: Yellow Green Group 146C.
Texture.—Thin, glabrous.
Arrangement.—Alternate.
Venation.—Pattern: pinnate, craspedrome. Upper surface: Yellow-Green Group 146C. Lower surface: Yellow-Green Group 146D.
Branchlets:
Juvenile.—Lightly ribbed, 2-3 mm in diameter. color: Yellow Green Group 146B.
Mature.—3 mm and larger in diameter. color: Red-Purple Group 59C mixed with Yellow Green Group 146B.
Length.—Varies from 60 cm.
Length of internode.—Varies from 2.5 cm to 6 cm dependent upon age and sun exposure on branch.
Disease resistance: As is typical of this species, ‘Monite’ cultivar exhibited a strong resistance to disease under normal growing conditions.
Heat and drought hardiness: When established in the landscape ‘Monte’ is very tolerant of dry conditions and reflected and dry heat.
Winter hardiness: As is typical of this species, will tolerate to a 25 degree Fahrenheit temperature.
