Abstract
A new cultivar of Fittonia plant named ‘Joly Josan’ that is characterized by green leaves with red veins and a compact habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Fittonia verschaffeltii.
Variety denomination: ‘Joly Josan’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Fittonia plant botanically known as Fittonia verschaffeltii and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Joly Josan’.
The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated area of Haaren, The Netherlands in 2002. ‘Joly Josan’ was discovered as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of Fittonia verschaffeltii ‘Josan’ (not patented).
Asexual reproduction by terminal cuttings of the new cultivar ‘Joly Josan’ was first done in 2002 in Haaren, The Netherlands. 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.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Fittonia cultivar ‘Joly Josan’.
-
- 1. Fittonia ‘Joly Josan’ exhibits green leaves with red veins.
- 2. Fittonia ‘Joly Josan’ exhibits a compact habit.
The closest comparison cultivar is the parent Fittonia ‘Josan’. The new cultivar ‘Joly Josan’ is distinguishable from ‘Josan’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Joly Josan’ has a more compact habit than ‘Josan’.
- 2. ‘Joly Josan’ has leaf margins that are less wavy than ‘Josan’.
- 3. ‘Joly Josan’ has leaf veins that are redder than those of ‘Josan’.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Fittonia ‘Joly Josan’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of a 12 week old plant. The photograph was 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.
The following is a detailed description of the new Fittonia cultivar named ‘Joly Josan’. Data was collected in Haaren, The Netherlands from 12 week old greenhouse grown plants in 8.5 cm. containers. The time of year was Spring and the average temperature was 24 degrees Centigrade during the day and 22 degrees Centigrade at night. No photoperiodic treatments were used. 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. ‘Joly Josan’ 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.
