Abstract
A new and distinct Haworthia cultivar named ‘SEASTAR’ is disclosed, characterized by medium sized, compact plants, with a more open center, and strong heat and drought resistance. Foliage is strong and consistently green with abundant white spots. The new variety is an Haworthia, typically produced as an ornamental plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Haworthia limifolia×fasciata.
Variety denomination: ‘SEASTAR’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The objectives of the planned breeding program were to develop new Haworthia varieties with interesting foliage for ornamental purposes. The breeding program was developed under the direction of the inventor, Christine Brandsma, in Moshi, Tanzania. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of the unpatented commercial variety Haworthia limifolia seed parent and the pollen parent, the unpatented commercial variety, Haworthia fasciata. ‘Big Band’ The crossing was made during January of 2009.
The new variety was selected by the inventor Christine Brandsma, in February of 2010 in a group of seedlings resulting from the crossing. The new cultivar was selected in a commercial greenhouse in Moshi, Tanzania.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘SEASTAR’ was first performed at a commercial greenhouse in Tanzania by vegetative cuttings in March 2011. The additional generation produced vegetative cuttings have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘SEASTAR’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘SEASTAR’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SEASTAR’ as a new and distinct Haworthia cultivar:
-
- 1. Less growth from center, forming a plant with a more open center.
- 2. Heat and drought resistance.
- 3. Plant size is medium, growth compact.
- 4. Abundant white dots on upper and lower foliage.
- 5. Even light green coloration.
- 6. Leaf apex is not as sharp as typical of Haworthia.
- 7. Comparatively longer leaf length and broader width.
- 8. Strong and stiff foliage.
- 9. Slow growth
- 10. Slow rooting.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SEASTAR’ are similar to the unpatented, unnamed, proprietary variety of Haworthia limifolia seed parent in most horticultural characteristics. The new variety however differs in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Longer and wider leaves.
- 2. Less sharp leaf point.
- 3. White dots on foliage. Seed parent has no white dots.
- 4. Not striped, Seed parents has green stripes on the upper and lower leaf surface.
- 5. Larger plant size.
- 6. Fewer leaves.
- 7. More growth from center.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SEASTAR’ are similar to the pollen parent, an unpatented, unnamed, proprietary variety of Haworthia fasciata ‘Big Band’ in most horticultural characteristics. The new variety however differs in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Slightly larger leaves.
- 2. Less sharply pointed leaves.
- 3. No white striping. Pollen parent has strong white stripe on the underside of leaves.
- 4. No green striping. Pollen parent has green striping on the upper and lower leaf surface.
- 5. More compact size.
- 6. Stronger foliage.
- 7. Faster rooting.
- 8. More growth from center.
- 9. Greater heat resistance.
‘SEASTAR’ can be compared to the unpatented commercial variety Haworthia fasciata ‘Con Color’. Plants of ‘Con Color’ are similar to plants of ‘SEASTAR’ in most horticultural characteristics. However ‘SEASTAR’ differs from ‘Con Color’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Larger leaf size.
- 2. Less sharp leaf point.
- 3. More striking white dots. More dots, of a brighter white.
- 4. Leaves more even green coloration.
- 5. Larger plant size.
- 6. Slower rooting.
- 7. Less heat resistant.
‘SEASTAR’ can also be compared to the unpatented commercial variety Haworthia fasciata. Plants of Haworthia fasciata are similar to plants of ‘SEASTAR’ in most horticultural characteristics. However ‘SEASTAR’ differs from Haworthia fasciata in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Larger leaf size.
- 2. Less sharp leaf point.
- 3. The white dots are more pustulate.
- 4. Different leaf coloration.
- 5. Larger plant size.
- 6. Less center growth.
- 7. White dots on upper side of leaf. The comparator has hardly any dots or stripes on upper leaf surface.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color typical plants of ‘SEASTAR’ grown in a greenhouse in Moshi, Tanzania. This plants are approximately 2 years old, shown in a 13 cm pots. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘SEASTAR’ plants grown in a greenhouse in Moshi, Tanzania. Temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 20° C. at night to 20° C. to 32° C. during the day. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments were given to the plants. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
