Abstract

A Bougainvillea plant particularly distinguished by a rounded and spreading shrub and having purple bracts, is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Bougainvillea×spectro-glabra.
Variety denomination: ‘IREBABS3’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of Bougainvillea, botanically known as Bougainvillea×spectro-glabra, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘IREBABS3’. The new variety originated from an open-pollination with the female parent ‘Pedro’ (unpatented) and an unknown male Bougainvillea in October 1998 in Brisbane, Australia. A single plant selection was subsequently chosen in October 2000 in Brisbane, Australia for further evaluation and asexual propagation.
The new plant was first asexually propagated in October 2000 in Brisbane, Australia and has been asexually reproduced by cuttings for numerous generations in Brisbane, Australia. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations by cuttings.
‘IREBABS3’ has not been made publicly available or sold more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of the new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Brisbane, Australia.
    • 1. A rounded and spreading shrub; and
    • 2. Having purple bracts.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Bougainvillea plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows the foliage and bracts of the plant. The colors are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photograph is of a plant less than one-year-old grown outdoors in Brisbane, Australia.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘IREBABS3’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Brisbane, Australia. The plant history was taken in May 2013 on five-year-old plants grown outdoors in Brisbane, Australia. Color references were taken under natural light and are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S. 2005).
