Abstract

A new and distinct Lantana plant named ‘Baluclem’, characterized by its yellow flowers upright mounded habit and dark green foliage.

Description

Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Lantana camara.
Variety denomination: ‘Baluclem’.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Lantana plant, botanically known as Lantana camara, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Baluclem’.
The new cultivar was developed by the inventor in a controlled breeding program during 2000, at Arroyo Grande, Calif. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Lantana cultivars with a well-branched, compact habit, continuous flowering and dark green foliage.
The new cultivar was the result of the open pollination of the female parent Lantana variety ‘Simon Yellow’ (not patented), which is commercially available, and which exhibits an upright habit and yellow flowers. The new cultivar was selected in December 2000 as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the above stated cross and was initially designated ‘353-4’.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar at Arroyo Grande, Calif. and West Chicago, Ill. was carried out by the use of terminal stem cuttings has demonstrated that the the new Lantana reproduces true to type with the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) exhibits light yellow flowers,
(b) forms dark green foliage, and
(c) exhibits an upright mounded growth habit.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to the commercially available Lantana variety, Patriot, ‘Honeylove’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,011 ‘Robpathon’). In side-by-side comparison, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Honeylove’. It is found that the new cultivar has a more compact habit, longer leaves and slightly smaller flowers of a lighter yellow color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar with one per pot. The plants were grown for 7 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
FIG. 1 illustrates the overall growth habit of the new cultivar.
FIG. 2 illustrates a close up view of 4 individual inflorescence of the new cultivar, two of them from a side perspective.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length. The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England. The color values were determined on Apr. 15, 2002. The readings were taken between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. under natural daylight conditions. The plants were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and were grown in a double polycarbonate covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown for 7 weeks while utilizing a soilless growth medium and maintaining temperatures of approximately 75° to 85° F. (24° to 29° C.) during the day and approximately 62° to 68° F. (17° to 20° C.) during the night and light levels of 4,000-10,000 footcandles.
