Abstract
A new and distinct Tradescantia cultivar named ‘SITARA GOLD’ is disclosed, characterized by very stable yellow foliage, and vigorous growth. The new variety is a Tradescantia, normally produced as an indoor potted plant, or as a tender outdoor landscape plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Tradescantia spathaceae nana.
Variety denomination: ‘SITARA GOLD’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The object of the breeding program was to select and reproduce Tradescantia spathaceae nana plants with brighter variegation of the leaves and improved plant forms. The new variety was discovered as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation in a grouping of more than 100 plants, of the parent variety, an unnamed, unpatented selection of Tradescantia spathaceae nana. The new variety was first noted as a whole plant mutation in January 2005. The new variety was discovered by Ashish Arvind Hansoti in January 2005 at a commercial greenhouse near Mumbai, India.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘SITARA GOLD’ by vegetative tip cuttings was first performed at a commercial greenhouse outside of Mumbai, India in April of 2005 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations. Approximately 12 generations have been reproduced.
The cultivar ‘SITARA GOLD’ 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 ‘SITARA GOLD’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SITARA GOLD’ as a new and distinct Tradescantia cultivar:
-
- 1. Exceptionally stable yellow foliage color.
- 2. Overall the plant is a slightly larger plant than the species Tradescantia spathaceae nana.
- 3. Despite its highly colored leaves, growth is vigorous and fills a commercial pot in a relatively short time frame.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SITARA GOLD’ are similar to plants of the parent, Tradescantia spathaceae nana unnamed, unpatented selection, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘SITARA GOLD’ are slightly larger. Additionally, the new variety has consistently bright yellow foliage, whereas the parent variety has inconsistent foliage color, which is primarily green.
The parent variety is the best commercial comparison to the new variety ‘SITARA GOLD.’
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘SITARA GOLD’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 13cm pot. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 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 ‘SITARA GOLD’ 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.
