Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Athyrium characterized in having a strongly upright habit, and leaves of a pewter tone, silver over grey green, with crested tips, and a reddish rachis. This coloring persists from new growth to mature leaves.

Description

Botanical Classification: Athyrium spp.
Variety Denomination: ‘Ocean's Fury’.
Parentage: Athyrium niponicum var. pictum and Athyrium filix-femina ‘Congestum Cristatum’ (unpatented).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Athyrium and given the cultivar name of ‘Ocean's Fury’. Athyrium is in the family Woodsiaceae. This new cultivar originated from a cross between Athyrium niponicum var. pictum and Athyrium filix-femina ‘Congestum Cristatum’. This new cultivar is a single selection from the cross.
The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (tissue culture). Each of the clones exhibits identical characteristics to the original selection.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This plant is unique in having:
    • 1. A strongly upright habit, and leaves of a pewter tone; and
    • 2. Silver over grey green, with crested tips, and a reddish rachis. This coloring persists from new growth to mature leaves.
Asexual propagation by tissue culture from crown culture as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to type and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The photograph shows a three-year-old Athyrium ‘Ocean's Fury’ growing in the ground in a shaded site in Canby, Oreg.
 DETAILED PLANT DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the new Athyrium based on observations of four-year-old specimens grown in the ground in a shade structure in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, from an edition purchased in 2000.

  • Fruiting body:
      • Type.—Sporangium.
      • Fertility.—Very low.
      • Sori.—In clusters on ultimate pinnules, indusium on side closest to the margin. Size — 1 to 2 mm at the widest. Immature — Brown 200D. Sporulating — Brown 200D.
  • Diseases and Pests: Some Athyrium are prone to rust. No diseases have been observed on plants grown commercially in Canby, Oreg. Athyrium generally have no pest problems.
  • Comparisons:
The instant plant resulted from a cross between Athyrium niponicum var. pictum and Athyrium filix-femina. ‘Congestum Cristatum’ (unpatented). Compared to Athyrium niponicum var. pictum, Athyrium ‘Ocean's Fury’ has very different foliage shape.
