Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Senecio plant named ‘Mount Everest’, characterized by its uniform, upright and mounded plant habit; upright, flat, broad and thick leaves; and blue green-colored leaves.
Description
Botanical designation: Senecio ficoides.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MOUNT EVEREST’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Senecio plant, botanically known as Senecio ficoides, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Mount Everest’.
The new Senecio plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Paterswolde, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Senecio plants with unique and attractive leaf shape and plant form.
The new Senecio plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2004 of a proprietary selection of Senecio ficoides identified as code name Portugal L52, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Senecio ficoides identified as code name Lin 05, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Senecio plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 2006 as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Paterswolde, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Senecio plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Paterswolde, The Netherlands since 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Senecio plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Senecio have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘Mount Everest’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Mount Everest’ as a new and distinct Senecio plant:
-
- 1. Uniform, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Upright, flat, broad and thick leaves.
- 3. Blue green-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Senecio differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Senecio are upright whereas plants of the female parent selection are outwardly spreading.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Senecio are positioned around the stem whereas leaves of plants of the female parent selection are positioned on one side of the stem.
Plants of the new Senecio differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Senecio are more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Senecio are positioned at a different angle than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Senecio can be compared to plants of Senecio ‘Himalaya’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Sappemeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Senecio differed from plants of ‘Himalaya’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Senecio were taller and more upright than plants of ‘Himalaya’.
- 2. Lateral branches of plants of the new Senecio were longer and thicker than lateral branches of plants of ‘Himalaya’.
- 3. Plants of the new Senecio had larger leaves than plants of ‘Himalaya’.
- 4. Plants of the new Senecio and ‘Himalaya’ differed in leaf color as plants of ‘Himalaya’ had green-colored leaves.
- 5. Leaves of plants of the new Senecio were flat and broad whereas leaves of plants of ‘Himalaya’ were acicular.
- 6. Leaves of plants of the new Senecio were positioned more upright on the stems than leaves of plants of ‘Himalaya’.
Plants of the new Senecio can also be compared to plants of Senecio ‘Kilimanjaro’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Sappemeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Senecio differed from plants of ‘Kilimanjaro’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Senecio were taller and more upright than plants of ‘Kilimanjaro’.
- 2. Lateral branches of plants of the new Senecio were longer and thicker than lateral branches of plants of ‘Kilimanjaro’.
- 3. Plants of the new Senecio had larger leaves than plants of ‘Kilimanjaro’.
- 4. Leaves of plants of the new Senecio were flat and broad whereas leaves of plants of ‘Kilimanjaro’ were rounded.
- 5. Leaves of plants of the new Senecio were positioned more upright on the stems than leaves of plants of ‘Kilimanjaro’.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Senecio plant. These photographs show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Senecio plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Mount Everest’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘Mount Everest’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 12-cm containers during the summer in a glass-greenhouse in Sappemeer, The Netherlands and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Senecio production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 25° C. and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 18° C. Plants were 13 weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
