Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla plant named ‘Sunparaswepi’, characterized by its compact and vining plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit and short internodes, dense and bushy plant form; freely flowering habit; medium-sized pink to white-colored flowers; and long flowering period.

Description

Botanical designation: Mandevilla hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUNPARASWEPI’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla plant, botanically known as Mandevilla hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunparaswepi’.
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 freely-branching Mandevilla plants with numerous pink to white-colored flowers.
The new Mandevilla plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in April, 2006 of a proprietary selection of Mandevilla hybrida identified as code number M-7, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with a proprietary selection of Mandevilla hybrida identified as code number MW-13, 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, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Mandevilla plant by cuttings in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, since October, 2007 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 and cultural practices. 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 ‘Sunparaswepi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunparaswepi’ as a new and distinct Mandevilla plant:
    • 1. Compact and vining plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit and short internodes, dense and bushy plant form.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Medium-sized pink to white-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 smaller leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla have smaller flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Mandevilla and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have white-colored flowers.
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 have larger leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla have larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Mandevilla and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have light pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the Mandevilla ‘Sunparamiho’, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/804,921. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Mandevilla differed from plants of ‘Sunparamiho’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla had shorter internodes than plants of ‘Sunparamiho’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla had smaller leaves than plants of ‘Sunparamiho’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Mandevilla and ‘Sunparamiho’ differed in flower color as flowers of plants of ‘Sunparamiho’ were white in color.
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 ‘Sunparaswepi’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sunparaswepi’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the early autumn in 15-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under commercial practice.
