Abstract

A new and distinct Guzmania×Vriesea hybrid cultivar named ‘Duraode’ is disclosed, characterized by a unique inflorescence shape and color.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Guzmania×Vriesea hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Duraode’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of the seed parent, Guzmania lingulata×wittmackii with the pollen parent, a Vriesea of unknown species, performed by the inventor in 1999.
It was discovered by the inventor, Chester Skotak Jr., a citizen of Costa Rica, in Ajauela, Costa Rica during October 2001, in a group of seedlings resulting from the 1999 crossing.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Duraode’ was first performed in Belgium by tissue culture in October 2004. ‘Duraode’ has since produced several generations by micro-propagation and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Duraode’ 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 ‘Duraode’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Duraode’ as a new and distinct Guzmania×Vriesea hybrid cultivar:
    • 1. Unique inflorescence shape.
    • 2. Unique inflorescence color.
    • 3. Suitability as an indoor pot plant.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Duraode’ are similar to both parent varieties in some horticultural characteristics. However, ‘Duraode’ differs from both the seed and pollen parents in having a different inflorescence shape.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
‘Duraode’ is best compared to the commercial variety Guzmania ‘Patricia,’ filed for US plant patent, with unknown serial number. Plants of ‘Patricia’ are similar to plants of ‘Duraode’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, ‘Duraode’ has a wider inflorescence, and has an inflorescence in three colors, red, orange and yellow, compared to an all red inflorescence of ‘Patricia’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘Duraode’ grown in a greenhouse. This plant is approximately 2 years old, shown in an 12 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.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 ‘Duraode’ plants grown in a climate controlled greenhouse in Evergem, the Netherlands. Temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 28° C. night and day. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments or chemical treatments were given to the plants. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
