Definitions
- Botanical classification Clethra alnifolia.
- Varietal denomination cv. Novacleein.
- Clethra alnifolia is an ornamental native shrub commonly known as Summersweet or Sweet Pepperbush.
- the new plant of the present invention was created through the open pollination of Clethra alnifolia ‘Hummingbird’ (non-patented in the United States) that is maintained at Loxley, Ala., U.S.A.
- the seed of the ‘Hummingbird’ variety that was used to produce the new plant of the present invention was collected during the fall of 2007 in Hockessin, Del., U.S.A.
- the seeds resulting from open pollination were sown during October 2007 at West Grove, Pa., U.S.A.
- the resulting plants produced by such open pollination were studied in detail during the spring and summer of 2008 and 2009 at West Grove, Pa., U.S.A., for the possible presence of a novel attractive phenotype.
- a single plant of the present invention was selected and was preserved in view of its unique combination of attractive phenotypic characteristics. Had this plant not been created, identified and preserved it would have been lost to civilization.
- the new cultivar well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and can be grown to advantage as a perennial garden plant to provide distinctive ornamentation. For instance, it can be grown in parks, gardens and residential settings.
- Plants of the new cultivar in view of its combination ion of phenotypic characteristics can be readily distinguished from other Clethra alnifolia plants known to its originator. For instance, when compared the ‘Hummingbird’ variety the new variety commonly forms a taller rounded growth habit and longer racemes. The new variety lacks the more upright growth habit of the ‘September Beauty’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,481), the pink flowers of the ‘Ruby Spice’ variety (non-patented in the United States), the lower compact growth habit of the ‘Sotite’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,505), and the more upright growth habit of the ‘Caleb’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,589).
- the new cultivar of the present invention has been named ‘Novacleein’.
- FIG. 1 illustrates specimens of typical mature flowering plants of the new variety. The typical attractive mounding substantially rounded growth habit is shown.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a closer view of plants displaying the long often twisted and curled racemes bearing white flowers.
Abstract

- (b) forms fragrant white flowers in longer racemes than the ‘Hummingbird’ variety that are often twisted and curled,
- (c) commonly displays good tolerance to heat, drought, insects and disease, and
- (d) is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in a wide range of landscape settings.
