Abstract
A new cultivar of Cistus, ‘Rencis’, characterized by its variegated leaves that are retained throughout the year with leaves with dark grey-green centers surrounded by yellow to creamy white colored margins that may become tinted with orange in autumn, its compact plant habit, and its white flowers present in late spring to early May.
Description
Botanical classification: Cistus×corbariensis.
Variety denomination: ‘Rencis’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Cistus×corbariensis and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Rencis’. ‘Rencis’ is a new cultivar of evergreen shrub grown for use as a landscape plant.
The Inventor discovered ‘Rencis’ in his nursery in Gorron, France in July 1993. The new cultivar arose as a naturally occurring branch mutation of an unnamed plant of Cistus×corbariensis that was growing outdoors in a container in his nursery.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor using softwood stem cuttings in 1995 in Gorron, France. The cuttings were grown for a period of seven years in the Inventor's garden to test for stability prior to subsequent propagation. The characteristics of ‘Rencis’ have been determined to be stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in a test garden in Gorron, France. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Rencis’ as a unique cultivar of Cistus.
-
- 1. ‘Rencis’ exhibits variegated foliage with leaves having dark grey-green centers surrounded by yellow to creamy white colored margins. The margins become tinted with orange in autumn.
- 2. ‘Rencis’ exhibits foliage that is variegated throughout the year.
- 3. ‘Rencis’ exhibits a compact plant habit.
- 4. ‘Rencis’ exhibits white flowers in late spring to early summer.
‘Rencis’ differs from its parent plant, Cistus×corbariensis, in having variegated foliage, a more compact habit, and in producing less flowers. ‘Rencis’ can be compared to a cultivar of Cistus known by the Inventor to have variegated foliage; Cistus ‘Candy Stripe’ (unpatented). It is similar to ‘Rencis’ in having compact habit and foliage with yellow to gold margin, however, it differs from ‘Rencis’ in having margins narrow.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of a 3 year-old plant of the new Cistus as grown outdoors in a 21 cm container in Gorron, France.
The photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates the overall appearance of ‘Rencis’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 is a close-up view of the flowers
The photograph in FIG. 3 is a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Rencis’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Cistus.
The following is a detailed description of 3 year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 21 cm containers in Gorron, France. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
