Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Bougainvillea plant named ‘Beesnees’, characterized by its outwardly spreading and bushy plant habit; vigorous growth habit; dark green-colored fully expanded leaves; freely flowering habit; and pure white-colored flower bracts.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Bougainvillea hybrida cultivar Beesnees.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Bougainvillea plant, botanically known as Bougainvillea hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Beesnees’.
The new Bougainvillea is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Bougainvillea hybrida cultivar Panda, not patented. The new Bougainvillea was discovered and selected by the Inventors from within a population of plants of the cultivar Panda in a controlled environment in Moggill, Queensland, Australia in 1996. The selection of this plant was based on its attractive flower coloration and non-variegated leaves.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings at Moggill, Queensland, Australia since 1997, has shown that the unique features of this new Bougainvillea are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Beesnees have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and/or light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Beesnees’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Beesnees’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Outwardly spreading and bushy plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored fully expanded leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Pure white-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Bougainvillea are most similar to plants of the parent, the cultivar Panda. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Moggill, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new Bougainvillea differed from plants of the cultivar Panda in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Bougainvillea rooted more quickly than plants of the cultivar Panda.
    • 2. Plants of the new Bougainvillea grew faster than plants of the cultivar Panda.
    • 3. Plants of the new Bougainvillea had solid green-colored leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Panda had variegated leaves.
    • 4. Plants of the new Bougainvillea were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Panda.
    • 5. Plants of the new Bougainvillea and the cultivar Panda differed in flower bract coloration as flower bracts of plants of the cultivar Panda were slightly discolored.
Plants of the new Bougainvillea can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Nonya, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Moggill, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new Bougainvillea differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Nonya in flower bract coloration as flower bracts of plants of the cultivar Nonya were mauve-colored.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Bougainvillea.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a side perspective view of typical one-year old plants of ‘Beesnees’ grown in the landscape.
The photograph in the middle of the sheet is a close-up view of typical developing flowers of ‘Beesnees’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical developing leaves of ‘Beesnees’.
