Abstract
A new cultivar of Fittonia plant named ‘Pink Diamond’ that is characterized by dark pink leaf veins, wavy green leaf margins and broad ovate to elliptic leaves.
Description
Botanical classification: Fittonia verschaffeltii.
Variety denomination: ‘Pink Diamond’.
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 ‘Pink Diamond’.
The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated area of Haaren, The Netherlands in September 1999. ‘Pink Diamond’ was discovered as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of Fittonia verschaffeltii ‘Anne’ (not patented).
Asexual reproduction by terminal cuttings of the new cultivar ‘Pink Diamond’ was first done in October 1999 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 ‘Pink Diamond’.
-
- 1. Fittonia ‘Pink Diamond’ exhibits dark pink leaf veins.
- 2. Fittonia ‘Pink Diamond’ exhibits wavy green leaf margins.
- 3. Fittonia ‘Pink Diamond’ exhibits broad ovate to elliptic leaves.
The closest comparison cultivar is Fittonia ‘White Anne’ (not patented). The new cultivar Fittonia ‘Pink Diamond’ is distinguishable from Fittonia ‘White Anne’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Pink Diamond’ exhibits dark pink leaf veins. The leaf veins of ‘White Anne’ are white.
The new cultivar Fittonia ‘Pink Diamond’ is distinguishable from the parent plant Fittonia ‘Anne’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Pink Diamond’ has dark pink leaf veins. The leaf veins of ‘Anne’ are light pink.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Fittonia ‘Pink Diamond’. 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 ‘Pink Diamond’. Data was collected in Haaren, The Netherlands from 12 week old greenhouse grown plants in 8.5 cm. containers. The time of year was Fall 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. ‘Pink Diamond’ 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.
