Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Anthurium plant named ‘White Gemini’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; shiny dark green leaves; white-colored spathes with white and yellow green spadices; inflorescences that are positioned above and beyond the foliage on strong and erect scapes; and excellent inflorescence longevity.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Aglaonema×hybrid cultivar White Gemini.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium plant, botanically known as Anthurium×hybrid, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘White Gemini’.
The new Anthurium is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Anthurium×hybrid cultivar Gemini, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,043. The new Anthurium was discovered by the Inventors in a controlled environment in Princeton, Fla., as a single plant within a group of tissue culture-derived plants of ‘Gemini’ on or about Dec. 8, 1998. The selection of this plant was based on its white-colored spathes.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by meristem culture in a controlled environment in Sebring, Fla., since December, 1998, has shown that the unique features of this new Anthurium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
The new Anthurium has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength 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 the cultivar White Gemini. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘White Gemini’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Shiny dark green leaves.
3. White-colored spathes with white and yellow green spadices.
4. Inflorescences that are positioned above and beyond the foliage on strong and erect scapes.
5. Excellent inflorescence longevity.
Plants of the new Anthurium differ from plants of the cultivar Gemini primarily in spathe coloration as plants of the cultivar Gemini have pink-colored spathes.
Plants of the new Anthurium can be compared to plants of the cultivar Peppermint Gemini, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/171,836 filed concurrently with this application. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Sebring, Fla., plants of the new Anthurium differed from plants of the cultivar Peppermint Gemini primarily in spathe coloration as plants of the cultivar Peppermint Gemini had white and pink mottled spathes.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Anthurium, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Anthurium.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of the cultivar White Gemini grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side-by-side comparison of plants of the cultivar Gemini (left) and White Gemini (right).
The aforementioned photographs and the following observations and measurements describe 9-month old plants grown in containers in Homestead, Fla., in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse with day temperatures of 21 to 32° C., night temperatures of 18 to 24° C., and light levels about 1,500 foot-candles.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
