Abstract

A new cultivar of Tillandsia plant named ‘Tilstsil’ that is characterized by a fast growth rate of 1 cm every 2 months, large flowers and regular spontaneous flowering. In combination, these traits set ‘Tilstsil’ apart from other existing varieties of Tillandsia known to the inventor.

Description

Botanical classification: Tillandsia stricta.
Variety denomination: ‘Tilstsil’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Tillandsia plant botanically known as Tillandsia stricta and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Tilstsil’.
The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated area of Shizuoka, Japan in December of 1988. ‘Tilstsil’ was discovered as a naturally occurring branch mutation of an unidentified plant of Tillandsia stricta.
Asexual reproduction by division of the new cultivar ‘Tilstsil’ was taken in December of 1998 in Shizuoka, Japan by the inventor. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Tillandsia cultivar ‘Tilstsil’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Tilstsil’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing varieties of Tillandsia.
1. Tillandsia ‘Tilstsil’ has a fast growth rate of 1 cm every 2 months.
2. Tillandsia ‘Tilstsil’ exhibits large flowers.
3. Tillandsia ‘Tilstsil’ exhibits regular spontaneous flowering.
The closest comparison variety is Tillandsia ‘Cotton Candy’ (not patented). ‘Tilstsil’ is different than ‘Cotton Candy’ in having thinner darker leaves with a softer texture and in producing pups yearly. The surface of Tillandsia ‘Cotton Candy’ leaves have bromeliad scales while ‘Tilstsil’ does not.
The new cultivar ‘Tilstsil’ is distinguishable from the parent Tillandsia by the following characteristics:
1. ‘Tilstsil’ has larger flowers.
2. ‘Tilstsil’ has a faster growth rate.
3. ‘Tilstsil’ has regular spontaneous flowering.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the distinguishing traits of Tillandsia ‘Tilstsil’.
The plant in the first photograph shows an overall view of a 1 year old plant.
The second photograph is a comparison showing an unidentified Tillandsia on the left, Tillandsia ‘Tilstsil’ in the middle and Tillandsia ‘Cotton Candy’ on the right. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a detailed description of the new Tillandsia cultivar named ‘Tilstsil’. Data was collected in Shizuoka, Japan from 1 year old plastic greenhouse grown plants. The time of year was Winter. The temperatures averaged 25° Centigrade during the day and 20° Centigrade at night in the Summer. In the winter, the daytime temperatures averaged 20° Centigrade and 10° Centigrade at night. The light level was natural outdoor light with 50 percent shade and there were no photoperiodic treatments. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species.
‘Tilstsil’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
