Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant named ‘Robpatlol’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; uniformly mounded plant form; semi-compact growth habit; short internodes; dense and bushy habit; freely and continuously flowering habit; and flowers that are initially yellow and become red purple in color.

Description

Botanical designation: Lantana camara.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Robpatlol’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant, botanically known as Lantana camara, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Robpatlol.
The new Lantana is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grain Valley, Mo. The objective of the breeding program is to create new semi-compact and freely-flowering Lantanas with attractive flower coloration.
The new Lantana originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in August, 2001 of the Lantana cultivar Robpatpas, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,424, as the female, or seed, parent with the Lantana cultivar Robcomplan, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,837, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lantana was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Grain Valley, Mo., on the basis of its semi-compact growth habit and attractive flower coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Grain Valley, Mo., since September, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Lantana are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Robpatlol have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and culture such as temperature and light intensity, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Robpatlol’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Robpatlol’ as a new and distinct Lantana cultivar:
    • 1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; uniformly mounded plant form.
    • 2. Semi-compact growth habit.
    • 3. Short internodes, dense and bushy habit.
    • 4. Freely and continuously flowering habit.
    • 5. Flowers that are initially yellow and become red purple in color.
Plants of the new Lantana can be compared to plants of the parents. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grain Valley, Mo., plants of the new Lantana differed from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Robpatpas, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lantana were more compact and had shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Robpatpas.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lantana were more freely branching and denser than plants of the cultivar Robpatpas.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lantana had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Robpatpas.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grain Valley, Mo., plants of the new Lantana differed from plants of the male parent, the cultivar Robcomplan, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lantana were not as compact as and had longer internodes than plants of the cultivar Robcomplan.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lantana and the cultivar Robcomplan differed in flower coloration as plants of the cultivar Robcomplan had yellow flowers that turned orange in color before becoming red purple.
Plants of the new Lantana can also be compared to plants of the Lantana cultivar Robpathot, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,266. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grain Valley, Mo., plants of the new Lantana differed from plants of the cultivar Robpathot in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lantana were more compact, denser and had shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Robpathot.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lantana had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Robpathot.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lantana and the cultivar Robpathot differed in flower color.
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 slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Lantana. Plants used for the photographs were grown in an outdoor nursery in Grain Valley, Mo. for about three months.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Robpatlol’ grown in the landscape for about three months.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences and leaves of ‘Robpatlol’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the description were planted in containers after rooting and grown for about 3 months during the spring in an outdoor nursery in Tolar, Tex. During the production of the plants in the greenhouse, temperatures ranged from about 18° C. to about 35° C.
