Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla plant named ‘Sunparakama’, characterized by its vining plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large bright red-colored flowers; and long flowering period.

Description

Botanical designation: Mandevilla×amabilis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUNPARAKAMA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla plant, botanically known as Mandevilla×amabilis and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunparakama’.
The new Mandevilla plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new vining and freely-branching Mandevilla plants with numerous bright red-colored flowers.
The new Mandevilla plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in April, 2004, of a proprietary selection of Mandevilla×amabilis identified as code number M38-1, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with a proprietary selection of Mandevilla×amabilis identified as code number MH-1, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Mandevilla plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in October, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Mandevilla plant by cuttings in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, since November, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Mandevilla plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Mandevilla have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Sunparakama’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunparakama’ as a new and distinct Mandevilla plant:
    • 1. Vining plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Large bright red-colored flowers.
    • 6. Long flowering period.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Mandevilla differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla have larger leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla have brighter red-colored flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Petal apices of plants of the new Mandevilla are cuspidate whereas petal apices of plants of the female parent selection are rounded.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Mandevilla differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have pink-colored flowers.
    • 2. Petal apices of plants of the new Mandevilla are cuspidate whereas petal apices of plants of the male parent selection are rounded.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the Mandevilla ‘Sunmandecrikin’, disclosed in a U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,736. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Mandevilla differed from plants of ‘Sunmandecrikin’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla had shorter lateral branches than plants of ‘Sunmandecrikin’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla had shorter leaves than plants of ‘Sunmandecrikin’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Mandevilla had brighter red-colored flowers than plants of ‘Sunmandecrikin’.
    • 4. Petal apices of plants of the new Mandevilla were cuspidate whereas petal apices of plants of ‘Sunmandecrikin’ were rounded.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Mandevilla 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 actual colors of the new Mandevilla plant.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunparakama’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sunparakama’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
