Abstract
A new cultivar of Cordyline plant named ‘Albatross’ that is characterized by dark purple leaves and a large overall size.
Description
Botanical classification: Cordyline baueri.
Variety Denomination: ‘Albatross’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Cordyline baueri and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Albatross’. The new cultivar originated from seed collected from the open pollination of the female or seed parent plant Cordyline baueri ‘Falcon’. The exact male parent plant is unknown. The resulting seeds were subsequently grown in a seed bed in a cultivated area of Whenuapai, New Zealand. ‘Albatross’ was selected as a single plant within the progeny by the inventor in 1999.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by tissue culture in Hastings, New Zealand in 2005. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The new Cordyline ‘Albatross’ is distinguished from other known varieties of Cordyline, by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Large overall size.
- 2. Dark purple leaves.
The closest comparison cultivar is the female parent plant Cordyline ‘Falcon’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,931). ‘Albatross’ is distinguishable from ‘Falcon’ in having dark purple foliage and a larger overall size. ‘Falcon’ has brown foliage.
The accompanying color photograph illustrates the distinguishing characteristics of the new cultivar ‘Albatross’.
The photograph on sheet 1 shows an overall view of a 2 year old plant.
The photograph on sheet 2 shows an enlarged view of the flowers.
All photographs are taken using conventional photographic techniques and although foliage colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
The following is a detailed description of the Cordyline cultivar named ‘Albatross’. Data was collected in Whenuapai, New Zealand from 2 year old plants. The plants were grown outdoors under natural conditions. The time of year was Summer (Southern Hemisphere). Phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, without however, any difference in genotype. Color determinations are in accordance with The 2001 Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species and no disease problems have been observed.
