Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Coleus plant named ‘Molten Lava’, characterized by its upright and tall plant habit; and dark purple and dark red bi-colored leaves.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Coleus×hybrida cultivar Molten Lava.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Coleus plant, botanically known as Solenostemon scutellarioides, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Molten Lava.
The new cultivar was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Waynesville, N.C. as a naturally-occurring branch mutation of a the Solenostemon scutellarioides cultivar Eclipse, not patented. The new Coleus was observed within a population of plants of the cultivar Eclipse in June, 2000. This branch mutation was selected on the basis of its unique leaf coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in Waynesville, N.C. since June, 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Coleus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Molten Lava have 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 ‘Molten Lava’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Molten Lava’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and tall plant habit.
2. Dark purple and dark red bi-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Coleus are most similar to plants of the parent, the cultivar Eclipse. Plants of the new Coleus differ from plants of the parent selection primarily in foliage color as plants of the cultivar Eclipse have red, pink, green and yellow-colored leaves. In addition, plants of the new Coleus are taller than plants of the cultivar Eclipse.
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 may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Coleus.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plant of ‘Molten Lava’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Molten Lava’.
The cultivar Molten Lava 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 photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the winter and spring in Encinitas, Calif., in an outdoor nursery and under conditions which approximate commercial production cultural and environmental conditions. Plants were about 14 weeks from cuttings and were grown in one-gallon containers. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C. and night temperatures averaged 19° C.
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.
