Abstract
A new and distinct Epipremnum cultivar named ‘NJOY’ is disclosed, characterized by very compact growth, bright, distinctive green and white variegation. Small broad leaves and a compact inflorescence. The new variety is an Epipremnum, normally produced as an indoor potted plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Epipremnum pinnatum.
Variety denomination: ‘NJOY’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The object of the breeding program was to select and reproduce Epipremnum pinnatum plants with brighter variegation of the leaves and improved plant forms. The new variety was discovered as a naturally occurring branch mutation in a grouping of more than 100 plants, representing superior clones of the parent variety ‘Marble Queen.’ Clones were selected for several years, with a selection criteria of shorter internodes and brightest variegation. The new cultivar is a selection from one of these unnamed superior clones of ‘Marble Queen,’ not directly selected from ‘Marble Queen.’ The new variety was discovered by Ashish Arvind Hansoti in 2002 at a commercial greenhouse near Mumbai, India.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘NJOY’ by vegetative cuttings was performed at a commercial greenhouse outside of Mumbai, India and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations. Approximately 25 generations have been reproduced.
The cultivar ‘NJOY’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘NJOY’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘NJOY’ as a new and distinct Epipremnum cultivar:
-
- 1. Small, broad, usually ovate leaves. Some tendency to produce even broader, deltate leaves.
- 2. Compact growth with very short internodes.
- 3. Bright, distinct variegation pattern.
- 4. Characteristic patch of green color, of varying shape and size on either side of the midrib.
- 5. Green variegation on cream to white background with many shades of green on a single leaf.
- 6. Stems relatively strong, darker green in overall appearance.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘NJOY’ are similar to plants of the parent, Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Marble Queen’ unpatented, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘NJOY’ are shorter and produce much shorter internodes than the parent. Additionally, the new variety has smaller leaves, broader leaves, with well-defined, regular variegation. The new variety also produces many shades of green within its variegation, while the parent variety characteristically has no more than 2 shades of green.
The parent variety is the best commercial comparison to the new variety ‘NJOY.’
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘NJOY’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 13 cm pot. Age of the plant photographed is 24 weeks.
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.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘NJOY’ plants grown in a poly plastic covered greenhouse in Mumbai, India. The greenhouse is covered with an additional shade cloth, allowing 50% natural light through. The growing temperature ranged from 12° C. to 20° C. at night and 20° C. to 35° C. during the day. Light levels were approximately 30-35 LUX. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
