Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Ozothamnus plant named ‘40-24’, characterized by its upright plant habit; vigorous growth habit; short internodes; dense and bushy habit; freely flowering habit; and inflorescences arranged in corymbs with pink-colored involucral bracts.

Description

Botanical designation: Ozothamnus diosmifolius.
Cultivar denomination: ‘40-24’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ozothamnus plant, botanically known as Ozothamnus diosmifolius, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘40-24’.
The new Ozothamnus is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of a proprietary selection of Ozothamnus diosmifolius identified as code number 1366, not patented. The new Ozothamnus was discovered and selected by the Inventors in a controlled environment in Helidon, Queensland, Australia in September, 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ozothamnus by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Helidon, Queensland, Australia since 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Ozothamnus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar 40-24 has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘40-24’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘40-24’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Ozothamnus:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Short internodes; dense and bushy habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Inflorescences arranged in corymbs with pink-colored involucral bracts.
Plants of the new Ozothamnus differ from plants of the parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ozothamnus are shorter than plants of the parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Ozothamnus flower earlier than plants of the parent selection.
Plants of the new Ozothamnus can be compared to plants of the Ozothamnus cultivar Just Blush, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Helidon, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new Ozothamnus differed from plants of the cultivar Just Blush in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ozothamnus were more rounded than plants of the cultivar Just Blush.
    • 2. Corymbs of plants of the new Ozothamnus were larger than corymbs of plants of the cultivar Just Blush.
    • 3. Plants of the new Ozothamnus had darker pink-colored involucral bracts than plants of the cultivar Just Blush.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Ozothamnus. The photographs show 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 Ozothamnus.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘40-24’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical corymb of ‘40-24’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif. during the autumn in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Ozothamnus production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from about 18° C. to 38° C. and night temperatures ranged from 13° C. to 24° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about five months old when the photographs and description were taken.
