Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Zamioculcas plant named ‘Heemzamio’, characterized by its upright plant habit with upwardly pointing pinnately-compound leaves; basally clumping habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; glossy leaflets that are dark greyed green and purple in color and at a distance, appear almost black in color; and glossy and cylindrical leaf rachises that are dark greyed green in color.
Description
Botanical designation: Zamioculcas zamiifolia.
Cultivar denomination: ‘HEEMZAMIO’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Zamioculcas plant, botanically known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Heemzamio’.
The new Zamioculcas plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of an unnamed selection of Zamioculcas zamiifolia, not patented. The new Zamioculcas plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor on a single plant of the mutation parent selection within a population of plants of the mutation parent selection in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands on Jul. 10, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Zamioculcas plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since July, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Zamioculcas plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Zamioculcas have not been observed under all possible combinations of 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 ‘Heemzamio’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Heemzamio’ as a new and distinct Zamioculcas plant:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit with upwardly pointing pinnately-compound leaves.
- 2. Basally clumping habit.
- 3. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 4. Glossy leaflets that are dark greyed green and purple in color and at a distance, appear almost black in color.
- 5. Glossy and cylindrical leaf rachises that are dark greyed green in color.
Plants of the new Zamioculcas differ from plants of the mutation parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Zamioculcas and the mutation parent selection differ in leaflet color as plants of the mutation parent selection have medium green-colored leaflets.
- 2. Plants of the new Zamioculcas and the mutation parent selection differ in leaf rachis color as plants of the mutation parent selection have medium green-colored leaf rachises.
Plants of the new Zamioculcas can also be compared to plants of Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Lucky’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,594. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, plants of the new Zamioculcas differed from plants of ‘Lucky’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Zamioculcas were smaller than plants of ‘Lucky’.
- 2. Plants of the new Zamioculcas and ‘Lucky’ differed in leaflet color as plants of ‘Lucky’ had medium green-colored leaflets.
- 3. Leaflet apices of plants of the new Zamioculcas were acute whereas leaflet apices of plants of ‘Lucky’ were rounded.
- 4. Plants of the new Zamioculcas and ‘Lucky’ differed in leaf rachis color as plants of ‘Lucky’ had medium green-colored leaf rachises.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Zamioculcas showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Zamioculcas plant.
The photograph is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Heemzamio’ grown in a container.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the winter in 21-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Zamioculcas production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 26° C. Plants were 13 months from planting rooted plants when the photograph and the detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
