Abstract
A new and distinct Caladium cultivar named ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ is disclosed, characterized by distinctive white foliage with green veins and margins, and a compact, very short plant habit. The new variety is a Caladium, normally produced as an indoor ornamental plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Caladium humboldtii.
Variety denomination: ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’.
The new cultivar was discovered as a spontaneous whole plant mutation by the inventor, Soonkyo Park, a citizen of South Korea. The parent variety is the unpatented variety Caladium humboldtii. The new variety was discovered April 2003, by the inventor in a commercial planting of Caladium humboldtii in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ by tissue culture was first performed July 2003, at a commercial laboratory in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Many generations have since been produced and have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
The cultivar ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ 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 ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ as a new and distinct Caladium cultivar:
-
- 1. Distinctive white leaves with green veins and green margins.
- 2. Compact and short plant form.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ are similar to plants of the parent, Caladium humboldtii in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ are shorter. Additionally, foliage of the parent variety is light green with green speckles and green veins, whereas ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ has white foliage with green veins
The parent variety is the best commercial comparison to the new cultivar.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ grown in a greenhouse, in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, in a commercial 11 cm container. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 8 months from a stage three tissue culture plant. The photographs were 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 ‘SNOW WHITE PARK’ plants grown during the winter months in a greenhouse in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The growing temperature ranged between 20° C. to 30° C. daytime and 18° to 20° C. at night. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
