Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chamaecyparis plant named ‘Minlem’, characterized by its compact and rounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form; and young leaves that are greyed green in color becoming green with development and turning to yellow green in the autumn.
Description
Botanical designation: Chamaecyparis lawsoniana.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MINLEM’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chamaecyparis plant, botanically known as Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Minlem’.
The new Chamaecyparis plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Ellwood's Gold’, not patented. The new Chamaecyparis plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor during the summer of 2003 on a single plant of ‘Ellwood's Gold’ within a population of plants of ‘Ellwood's Gold’ in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in La Ménitré, Maine et Loire, France.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chamaecyparis plant by semi-hardwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in La Ménitré, Maine et Loire, France since December 2004, has shown that the unique features of this new Chamaecyparis plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Chamaecyparis have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and culture 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 the new Chamaecyparis plant. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Minlem’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Chamaecyparis plant:
-
- 1. Compact and rounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy plant form.
- 3. Young leaves that are greyed green in color becoming green with development and turning to yellow green in the autumn.
Plants of the new Chamaecyparis are most similar to plants of the parent, ‘Ellwood's Gold’. In side-by-side comparison, slants of the new Chamaecyparis differ primarily from plants of ‘Ellwood's Gold’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chamaecyparis are more compact than and not as narrow and upright as ‘Ellwood's Gold’.
- 2. Plants of the new Chamaecyparis have longer leaves than plants of ‘Ellwood's Gold’.
- 3. In the autumn, leaves of plants of the new Chamaecyparis are brighter yellow green in color than leaves of plants of ‘Ellwood's Gold’.
Plants of the new Chamaecyparis can also be compared to plants of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Oregon Blue’, not patented. Plants of the new Chamaecyparis differ from plants of ‘Oregon Blue’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chamaecyparis are more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of ‘Oregon Blue’.
- 2. In the autumn, leaves of plants of the new Chamaecyparis are yellow green in color whereas leaves of plants of ‘Oregon Blue’ are blue green.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chamaecyparis plant showing 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 Chamaecyparis plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Minlem’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Minlem’ (left) and a typical plant of ‘Ellwood's Gold’ (right) grown in containers.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements were grown in Grand Haven, Mich. during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions which approximate commercial Chamaecyparis production. Plants were 1.5 years old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
