Abstract
A new Aglaonema plant particularly distinguished by having a leafy, compact and very small growth habit, medium to dark green foliage with dark grey-green areas which follow the primary veins, foliage that is marked with small coalescing yellow-green spots and blotches, areas adjacent to the primary veins that are often marked with yellow-green, areas adjacent to the midrib are variably tinged with pink and the primary veins are flushed with pink, and light pink to white spathes, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Aglaonema hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘TWYAG0054’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Aglaonema, botanically known as Aglaonema hybrid and hereinafter referred to by the variety name as ‘TWYAG0054’. The new variety originated from an open pollination made in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia between unknown individual plants of Aglaonema(species unknown). The new variety was discovered as a single plant within the progeny of the stated open pollination in a controlled environment in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia.
The new variety was created in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Apopka, Fla. for two or more generations. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of the new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Apopka, Fla.
-
- 1. Medium to dark green foliage with dark grey-green areas which follow the primary veins;
- 2. Foliage that is marked with small coalescing yellow-green spots and blotches;
- 3. Areas adjacent to the primary veins are often marked with yellow-green;
- 4. Areas adjacent to the midrib are variably tinged with pink and the primary veins are flushed with pink;
- 5. Leafy, compact and very small in stature; and
- 6. Light pink to white spathes.
This new Aglaonema plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows the overall plant habit. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘TWYAG0054’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Apopka, Fla. The plant history was taken on 12 month-old plants started from a single four-leaf rooted cutting, still in a vegetative state and grown in Apopka, Fla. Rooted cuttings were planted in 20-cm pots and grown in a greenhouse in October 2006. The plants were pinched once. Color readings were taken under natural light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001).
