Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Zamioculcas plant named ‘Zamicro’, characterized by its upright and compact growth habit; relatively small leaves; and shiny dark green-colored leaves.
Description
Botanical designation: Zamioculcas zamiifolia.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Zamicro’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Zamioculcas, botanically known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Zamicro’.
The new Zamioculcas is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of an unidentified selection of Zamioculcas zamiifolia. The new Zamioculcas was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant from within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Aarlanderveen, The Netherlands in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new Zamioculcas by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Aarlanderveen, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Zamioculcas are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Zamicro has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, daylength and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Zamicro’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Zamicro’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Zamioculcas:
-
- 1. Upright and compact growth habit.
- 2. Relatively small leaves.
- 3. Shiny dark green-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Zamioculcas can be compared to plants of the parent selection. Plants of the new Zamioculcas differ from plants of the parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Zamioculcas are more compact and shorter than plants of the parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Zamioculcas have smaller leaves than plants of the parent selection.
Plants of the new Zamioculcas can be compared to plants of the Zamioculcas zamiifolia cultivar ZZ, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Aarlanderveen, The Netherlands, plants of the new Zamioculcas differed from plants of the cultivar ZZ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Zamioculcas were more compact and shorter than plants of the cultivar ZZ.
- 2. Plants of the new Zamioculcas had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar ZZ.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Zamioculcas 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 Zamioculcas.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Zamicro’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical branch of ‘Zamicro’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new Zamioculcas grown in Aarlanderveen, The Netherlands in a glass-covered greenhouse during the winter and spring and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 30° C., night temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 22° C. and light levels averaging 100 kilolux. Plants had been growing in 8.5-cm containers for about seven months when the photographs and the description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
