Abstract

A new plant variety of Pachycentria formosana characterized by its pink and white variegated new foliage, and white variegated mature foliage.

Description

Classification: the present invention relates to a new Pachycentria formosana plant.
Varietal denomination: The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Gifu Variegated’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Pachycentria Blume, Pachycentria formosana Hayata, and was discovered as a branch sport of an unnamed variety of Pachycentria formosana Hayata (unpatented) in Mizunami-shi, Gifu Prefecture, Japan by the originator, Mr. Seiju Yamaguchi.
The genus Pachycentria is included in the family Melastomataceae that comprises about 240 genera and about 3000 species of mostly tropical herbs, shrubs, and trees in both hemispheres. Pachycentria comprises about 10 species of shrubs native to Southeast Asia. Pachycentria formosana Hayata is endemic in Taiwan. The genus is distinguished from other genera in the Melastomataceae by a small ovary in an urceolate hypanthiumn, and by seeds with comb-shaped testa cells.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered as a branch sport, and differs from other cultivars known to the inventor by its pink and white variegated new foliage, and white variegated mature foliage. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings in Gifu Prefecture, Japan; Lewisberry, Pa.; and Vacaville, Calif.; have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations, and the new variety reproduces true to type.
COMPARISON WITH PARENT
‘Gifu Variegated’ is distinguished from its parent and all other varieties of Pachycentria formosana of which I am aware by its pink and white variegated new foliage, and white variegated mature foliage.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying photographic illustration shows a plant of the new cultivar as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
FIG. 1 illustrates the distinctive foliage variegation of the new variety.
FIG. 2 illustrates the flower of the new variety.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
Pachycentria formosana ‘Gifu Variegated’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of plants grown in Vacaville, Calif. and Lewisberry, Pa. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural, and environmental conditions. In this description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (2001) and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart. As with many plants in the Melastomataceae family phenotypic characteristics can be dramatically different in terms of growth morphology.
