Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Torenia plant named ‘Sunrenicoame’, characterized by its compact and mounding to trailing plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; purple-colored flowers with light purple-colored centers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Torenia sp.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunrenicoame’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Torenia, botanically known as Torenia sp. and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunrenicoame’.
The new Torenia is a whole plant mutation of a proprietary selection of Torenia sp. identified as code number TH2, not patented. The new Torenia was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single plant in a controlled greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in March, 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new Torenia by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since October, 2004, has shown that the unique features of this new Torenia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Sunrenicoame has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature 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 ‘Sunrenicoame’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunrenicoame’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Torenia:
-
- 1. Compact and mounding to trailing plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Long flowering period.
- 5. Purple-colored flowers with light purple-colored centers.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Compared to plants of the parent selection, plants of the new Torenia are smaller and have narrower leaves. In addition, plants of the new Torenia and the parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the parent selection have red purple-colored flowers with red purple colored centers.
Plants of the new Torenia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Sunrenibu, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,119. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Torenia and the cultivar Sunrenibu differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Torenia were shorter than plants of the cultivar Sunrenibu.
- 2. Plants of the new Torenia had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Sunrenibu.
- 3. Plants of the new Torenia and the cultivar Sunrenibu differed in flower color.
Plants of the new Torenia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Sunrenirirepa, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,302. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Torenia and the cultivar Sunrenirirepa differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Torenia were shorter and had shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Sunrenirirepa.
- 2. Plants of the new Torenia had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Sunrenirirepa.
- 3. Plants of the new Torenia and the cultivar Sunrenirirepa differed in flower color.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Torenia, 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 Torenia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunrenicoame’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Sunrenicoame’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, under commercial practice during the winter in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with day temperatures averaging 20° C. and night temperatures averaged 10° C. Plants had been growing for about four months when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
