Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Phalaenopsis plant named ‘MI00316’, characterized by its upright plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; strong flowering stems; freely flowering habit; typically three racemes per plant; each inflorescence with numerous flowers; showy purple to purple violet-colored flowers with fine dots and netting (venation) pattern; and ease of production.

Description

Botanical designation: Phalaenopsis hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MI00316’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phalaenopsis plant, botanically known as Phalaenopsis hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘MI00316’.
The new Phalaenopsis plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lochristi, Belgium. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new freely flowering Phalaenopsis plants with unique and attractive flower patterns and coloration.
The new Phalaenopsis plant originated from a cross-pollination in July, 2006 in Lochristi, Belgium of a proprietary selection of Phalaenopsis hybrida identified as code number PHM00008, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Phalaenopsis sp. ‘Atlantis’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,270, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phalaenopsis plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lochristi, Belgium in July, 2009.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phalaenopsis plant by in vitro propagation (tissue culture) in a controlled environment in Lochristi, Belgium since March, 2011 has shown that the unique features of this new Phalaenopsis plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis have 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 ‘MI00316’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MI00316’ as a new and distinct Phalaenopsis plant:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Strong flowering stems.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit; typically three racemes per plant; each inflorescence with numerous flowers.
    • 5. Showy purple to purple violet-colored flowers with fine dots and netting (venation) pattern.
    • 6. Ease of production.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in leaf orientation and size as plants of the new Phalaenopsis have shorter and more upright leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Atlantis’. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of ‘Atlantis’ in flower color as plants of ‘Atlantis’ do not have a prominent netting (venation) pattern. In addition, plants of the new Phalaenopsis have a faster growth rate than plants of ‘Atlantis’.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can be compared to plants of Phalaenopsis hybrida ‘Kansas City’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lochristi, Belgium, plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of ‘Kansas City’ in flowering habit as plants of the new Phalaenopsis typically produce more inflorescences per plant. Additionally, plants of the new Phalaenopsis have slightly smaller flowers than plants of ‘Kansas City’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phalaenopsis 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 Phalaenopsis plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘MI00316’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘MI00316’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the summer in 12-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Lochristi, Belgium and under cultural practices typically used in commercial Phalaenopsis production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 29° C. and light levels ranged from 150 Watt/m2 to 375 Watt/m2. Plants were exposed to eight weeks of cooling to induce flowering. Plants were 78 weeks from propagation when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
