Abstract
A new and distinct Zamioculcas zamiifolia cultivar named ‘LUCKY’ is disclosed, characterized by rounded leaves and a short, compact plant habit. The new variety is a Zamioculcas zamiifolia, normally produced as an ornamental plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Zamioculcas zamiifolia.
Variety denomination: ‘LUCKY’.
The new Zamioculcas zamiifolia cultivar is a product of a chance discovery by the inventor, Edward Bruinen, in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. The inventor identified and selected the interesting mutation of Zamioculcas zamiifolia and proceeded to test its suitability for ornamental commercial applications.
The parent is an unpatented, unnamed variety of Zamioculcas zamiifolia. The new variety was discovered in September 2003, by the inventor as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation, in a commercial greenhouse in Maasdijk, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘LUCKY’ by vegetative cuttings was first performed at a commercial greenhouse in Maasdijk, The Netherlands in September 2007 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations. Plants of the new variety have not been sold at the time of filing this application.
The cultivar ‘LUCKY’ 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 ‘LUCKY’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘LUCKY ’ as a new and distinct Zamioculcas zamiifolia cultivar:
-
- 1. Unique round shaped foliage.
- 2. Short and compact plant habit.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘LUCKY’ are similar to plants of the parent, Zamioculcas zamiifolia. in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘LUCKY’ produce round leaves compared to the ovate leaves of the parent. The leaf apex of ‘LUCKY’ is rounded whereas the parent has an acuminate leaf apex. Additionally, the plant shape of ‘LUCKY’ is somewhat more compact than that of the parent.
Plants of ‘LUCKY’ are best compared to the parent variety.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘LUCKY’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 17 cm pot. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 13 months from a rooted cutting. 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 2001 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘LUCKY’ plants grown in a greenhouse, in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. The growing temperature ranged from 20° C. during the day to 18° C. during the night. General light conditions are normal sunlight. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types. Plants are approximately 13 months old from a rooted cutting.
