Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Cyperus plant named ‘Perkamentus Compact’, characterized by its compact plant habit; upright growth habit; relatively short stems; and elongated slender green-colored rays subtending the inflorescences.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Cyperus papyrus cultivar Perkamentus Compact.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Perkamentus plant, botanically known as Perkamentus papyrus, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Perkamentus Compact.
The new Cyperus is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Cyperus papyrus cultivar Perkamentus, not patented. The new Cyperus was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tissue culture micropropagation at Bleiswijk, The Netherlands since June, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Cyperus 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 ‘Perkamentus Compact’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Perkamentus Compact’ as a new and distinct Cyperus cultivar:
1. Compact plant habit.
2. Upright growth habit.
3. Relatively short stems.
4. Elongated slender green-colored rays subtending the inflorescences.
Plants of the new Cyperus are most similar to plants of the parent cultivar Perkamentus. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, plants of the new Cyperus differed from plants of the cultivar Perkamentus primarily in plant height as plants of the new Cyperus were about 25% shorter than plants of the cultivar Perkamentus.
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 Cyperus.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Perkamentus Compact’ grown in a container.
The cultivar Perkamentus Compact 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 Bleiswijk, The Netherlands under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day and night temperatures about 20° C. Plants used in the photograph and following description were about two years old 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.
