Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Ctenanthe plant named ‘Amagris’, characterized by its compact plant habit; narrow leaf shape; upper leaf surface grayed green in color with dark green margins and venation; and lower leaf surface grayed purple in color.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Ctenanthe oppenheimiana cultivar Amagris.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ctenanthe plant, botanically known as Ctenanthe oppenheimiana, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Amagris.
The new Ctenanthe is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Ctenanthe oppenheimiana selection known as burle-marxii, not patented. The new Ctenanthe was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Beervelde-Lochristi, Belgium in June, 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tissue culture micropropagation at Beervelde-Lochristi, Belgium since 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Ctenanthe are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Amagris’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Amagris’ as a new and distinct Ctenanthe cultivar:
1. Compact plant habit.
2. Narrow leaf shape.
3. Upper leaf surface grayed green in color with dark green margins and venation.
4. Lower leaf surface grayed purple in color.
Plants of the new Ctenanthe are most similar to plants of the parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Beervelde-Lochristi, Belgium, plants of the new Ctenanthe differed from plants of the parent cultivar in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Ctenanthe were smaller than plants of the parent selection.
2. Plants of the new Ctenanthe were fuller than plants of the parent selection.
3. Plants of the new Ctenanthe had a slower growth rate than plants of the parent selection.
4. Plants of the new Ctenanthe had narrower and shorter leaves than plants of the parent selection.
5. Plants of the new Ctenanthe and the parent selection differed in leaf color as plants of the new Ctenanthe had grayed green-colored upper leaf surfaces whereas plants of the parent selection had green-colored upper leaf surfaces.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates 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 photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Ctenanthe. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Amagris’.
The cultivar Amagris 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 the following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lochristi, Belgium under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day and night temperatures about 20 to 21° C. Plants used in the photograph and following description were about 27 weeks old from a rooted micropropagated plant and grown in 12-cm containers. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
