Abstract
A new and distinct Vriesea cultivar named ‘Kiwi Dusk’ is disclosed, characterized by very stable, strongly reticulate variegated foliage of dark green/bronze/dark purple. Upright plant form with a dark purple heart.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Vriesea lindl.
Variety denomination: ‘KIWI DUSK’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of an unnamed, seed parent and an unnamed, pollen parent, both Vriesea fosteriana made by the inventor during 1996.
It was discovered by the inventor, Andrew Maloy, a citizen of New Zealand, in 1999 in a group of seedlings resulting from the 1996 crossing.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Kiwi Dusk’ was first performed in Auckland, New Zealand, in a commercial laboratory by tissue culture in 2002. ‘Kiwi Dusk’ has been reproduced by micro-propagation and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘Kiwi Dusk’ 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 ‘Kiwi Dusk.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kiwi Dusk’ as a new and distinct Vriesea cultivar:
-
- 1. Foliage resistant to stress.
- 2. Foliage is dark green and bronze/dark purple with distinct transverse markings.
- 3. Paler coloring at base of leaves.
- 4. Suitability as an indoor pot plant.
- 5. Broad leaves occurring in right, regular whorls.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Kiwi Dusk’ cannot be compared to either seed parent or pollen parent as records of those characteristics were not kept. However, ‘Kiwi Dusk’ can be compared to the commercial variety Vriesea fosteriana ‘Red Chestnut.’ Plants of ‘Red Chestnut’ are similar to plants of ‘Kiwi Dusk’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, ‘Red Chestnut ’has a plain, uncolored heart and lighter green leaves than ‘Kiwi Dusk.’
‘Kiwi Dusk’ can also be compared to it seedling siblings, ‘Kiwi Cream’, filed concurrently and assigned Ser. No. 11/978,481 and ‘Kiwi Sunset’ filed concurrently and assigned Ser. No. 11/978.480. ‘Kiwi Dusk’ differs from ‘Kiwi Cream’ in having overall much darker foliage and a darker center to the plant. ‘Kiwi Dusk’ is also normally shorter than ‘Kiwi Cream.’ ‘Kiwi Dusk’ differs from ‘Kiwi Sunset’ in having darker foliage and a center to the plant with more dark purple, rather than pink tones.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘Kiwi Dusk’ grown in a greenhouse. This plant is approximately 4 years, 6 months old, shown in a 17 cm pot. 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 ‘Kiwi Dusk’ plants grown in a climate controlled greenhouse in Saint Oedenrode, the Netherlands. Temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 22° C. at night to 18° C. to 22° C. during the day. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments or chemical treatments were given to the plants. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
