Abstract
A new and distinct cultiva of Anagallis plant named ‘Wildcat Mandarin,’ characterized by its vigorous and outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching growth habit; numerous single flowers that are bright orange in color with a pink center; and good garden performance.
Description
The development of the present invention was funded in part by USDA/Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service 01-90015-0420.
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Anagallis monelli cultivar ‘Wildcat Mandarin’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Anagallis plant, botanically known as Anagallis monelli, previously identified with code number UNH 062-2 and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Wildcat Mandarin’.
The new Anagallis is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Durham, N.H. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Anagallis plants with freely and early flowering habit.
The new Anagallis originated from a hybridization made by the Inventor on Feb. 28, 2000 between two proprietary selections of Anagallis monelli, not patented, identified as code number UNH 950-2, and UNH 924-3. The new Anagallis was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny in Durham, N.H., on the basis of its plant habit and attractive flower coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since Oct. 15, 2000, in Durham, N.H. has shown that the unique features of this new Anagallis are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Wildcat Mandarin’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Wildcat Mandarin’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Wildcat Mandarin’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Vigorous and outwardly spreading plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching growth habit:
- 3. Numerous single flowers that are bright orange in color, with a pink center.
- 4. Good garden performance.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Durham, N.H., plants of the new Anagallis differed from plants of Anagallis ‘Wildcat Orange’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,136, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Anagallis were more upright and vigorous than plants of the cultivar ‘Wildcat Orange’.
- 2. Plants of the new Anagallis had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar ‘Wildcat Orange’.
- 3. Plants of the new Anagallis had orange flowers that were brighter than plants of the cultivar ‘Wildcat Orange’ and had a pink center.
- 4. Plants of the new Anagallis had larger leaves than plants of the cultivar ‘Wildcat Orange’.
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 Anagallis.
One photograph comprises a side perspective view of one typical 20-cm container of ‘Wildcat Mandarin’ with three plants.
The other photograph is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Wildcat Mandarin’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Durham, N.H., in a heated polyethylene-covered greenhouse with 21° C. day/18° C. night set points. After planting rooted cuttings, plants were grown for about four months in 20-cm containers with three plants per container. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Color was evaluated under indirect, natural light.
