Abstract

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

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar denomination: Angelonia augustifolia cultivar Balangdepi.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Angelonia plant, botanically known as Angelonia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Balangdepi’.
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 basal branching growth habit and numerous flowers with attractive coloration.
The new Angelonia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2000 of a proprietary Angelonia hybrida selection identified as code number BFP-273, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with an unnamed selection of Angelonia integerimma, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The cultivar Balangdepi 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 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 ‘Balangdepi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Balangdepi’ as a new and distinct Angelonia cultivar:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely basal branching growth habit.
3. Violet-colored flowers.
Compared to plants of the female parent selection, plants of the new Angelonia are more compact. Compared to plants of the male parent selection, plants of the new Angelonia are shorter and have a more freely basal branching habit.
Plants of the new Angelonia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Balangdeum, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,040. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in West Chicago, Ill. plants of the new Angelonia differed from plants of the cultivar Balangdeum in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Angelonia were more vigorous and larger than plants of the cultivar Balangdeum.
2. Plants of the new Angelonia had a more freely basal branching growth habit than plants of the cultivar Balangdeum.
3. Plants of the new Angelonia were more densely foliated than plants of the cultivar Balangdeum.
4. Plants of the new Angelonia had longer leaves than plants of the cultivar Balangdeum.
5. Plants of the new Angelonia were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Balangdeum.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Angelonia, 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 on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a flowering plant of ‘Balangdepi’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flowering raceme of ‘Balangdepi’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar Balangdepi 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 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 24 to 29° C., night temperatures ranging from 17 to 21° C. and light levels ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 footcandles. Rooted young plants were planted in 10-cm containers and had been growing for about 14 weeks when the photographs and the description were taken.
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.
