Abstract

A new plant variety of Skimmia japonica characterized Cream variegated margins.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Skimmia japonica, which was found as a branch sport on a cultivated specimen of Skimmia japonica (unpatented) by Mr. Noriaki Kogawa in Minai Tsukuda, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Ranso En’.
The genus Skimmia is included in the family Ructaceae which comprises about 161 genera and 1700 species of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs, Asian in origin. Skimmia comprises approximately 6 species, orginating in Western Himalayas, Eastern China and Japan, many of which possess desirable ornamental characteristics. Skimmia japonica is a native of Japan and Korea.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered as a branch sport and differs from its parent by having cream colored variegated margins. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by cuttings, performed in 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 PARENTS
‘Ranso En’ is distinguished from its parent and all other varieties of Skimmia japonica of which I am aware by having cream variegated margins.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying illustrations shows a specimen of the new cultivar in a photo illustration as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
FIG. 1 illustrates the distinctive cream colored marginal variegation.
