Abstract
A new cultivar of Spathiphyllum plant named ‘Sweet Silvio’ that is characterized by a good response to flower initiation treatment, consistent flower production, green leaves and white spathes.
Description
Botanical Classification: Spathiphyllum Schott. Variety Denomination: ‘Sweet Silvio’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Spathiphyllum plant botanically known as Spathiphyllum Schott. and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Sweet Silvio’.
‘Sweet Silvio’ is a hybrid that originated from the hybridization of the female or seed parent a proprietary Spathiphyllum Schott. identified as 96341-1 (not patented) and the male or pollen parent a proprietary Spathiphyllum Schott. identified as 96099-50 (not patented). The cultivar ‘Sweet Silvio’ was selected by the inventor in September of 1999 as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction by tissue culture of the new cultivar ‘Sweet Silvio’ was first performed in 2000 in Honselersdjik, 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 Spathiphyllum cultivar ‘Sweet Silvio’.
-
- 1. Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Silvio’ consistently produces flowers.
- 2. Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Silvio’ exhibits green leaves.
- 3. Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Silvio’ exhibits white spathes.
- 4. Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Silvio’ responds very well to flower initiation treatment.
The closest comparison cultivar is Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Pablo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,817). The new cultivar ‘Sweet Silvio’ is distinguishable from ‘Sweet Pablo’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Sweet Silvio’ produces flowers more consistently than ‘Sweet Pablo’.
- 2. ‘Sweet Silvio’ has a shorter height than ‘Sweet Pablo’.
- 3. ‘Sweet Silvio’ has larger leaves than those of ‘Sweet Pablo’.
The new cultivar ‘Sweet Silvio’ is distinguishable from the male parent Spathiphyllum ‘96099-50’ in having narrower leaves. The new cultivar ‘Sweet Silvio’ is distinguishable from the female parent Spathiphyllum ‘96341-1’ in not having fragrant flowers.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Silvio’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of a 42 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 Spathiphyllum cultivar named ‘Sweet Silvio’. Data was collected in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands from 42 week old greenhouse grown plants in 17 cm containers. The time of year was Spring and the average temperatures was 22 degrees Centigrade during the day and 22 degrees Centigrade at night. No photoperiodic treatments were used. 80-100 PPM of Gibberallic acid was applied for flower initiation. 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. ‘Sweet Silvio’ 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.
