Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Aloe plant named ‘Tiki Zilla’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; leaves arranged in a dense basal rosette; green-colored leaves with greyed green-colored margins and spots; upright flowering stems; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Aloe hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘TIKI ZILLA’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Aloe plant, botanically known as Aloe hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tiki Zilla’.
The new Aloe plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Monster, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new stemless and thornless Aloe plants with attractive and unique leaves.
The new Aloe plant originated from a cross-pollination in April, 1997 of a proprietary selection of Gasteria sp.×(Gasteria sp.×Aloe sp.) identified as code number G17, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed proprietary selection of Aloe saponaria, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Aloe plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single flowering plant from within the resultant progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Monster, The Netherlands in October, 1999.
Asexual reproduction of the new Aloe plant by cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Monster, The Netherlands since May, 2001 has shown that the unique features of this new Aloe plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Aloe 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 ‘Tiki Zilla’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tiki Zilla’ as a new and distinct Aloe plant:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Leaves arranged in a dense basal rosette.
- 3. Green-colored leaves with greyed green-colored margins and spots.
- 4. Upright flowering stems.
- 5. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Aloe differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection primarily in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Aloe had shorter leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Leaf spots of plants of the new Aloe are larger than leaf spots of plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Aloe differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection primarily in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Aloe rarely produce thorns whereas plants of the male parent selection produce thorns.
- 2. Plants of the new Aloe have shorter leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Aloe can be compared to plants of Aloe ‘Cosmo’, not patented. Plants of the new Aloe differ from plants of ‘Cosmo’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Aloe are shorter than leaves of plants of ‘Cosmo’.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Aloe have more distinct spots than leaves of plants of ‘Cosmo’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Aloe 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 colors of the new Aloe plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Tiki Zilla’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a top perspective view of the leaves of a typical plant of ‘Tiki Zilla’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Tiki Zilla’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants that were grown during the winter in 12-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Monster, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Aloe production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 17° C. to 21° C. and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 19° C. Plants were ten months and two years old when the description and photographs, respectively, were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
