Abstract
A new cultivar of Peperomia plant named ‘Napoli Nights’ that is characterized by leaves that have a grey-green colored pattern on the upper surface and are pink-red on the lower surface.
Description
Botanical classification: Peperomia hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Napoli Nights’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Peperomia plant botanically known as Peperomia hybrid and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Napoli Nights’.
‘Napoli Nights’ originated from the crossing of the female or seed parent, an unnamed Peperomia peruviana cultivar and the male or pollen parent, an unnamed Peperomia marmorata cultivar. The crossing was conducted in 2013 in Sappemeer, Netherlands. The resulting seeds were subsequently planted and grown. The cultivar ‘Napoli Nights’ was selected by the inventor in 2014 in a controlled environment as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a cultivated area of Sappemeer, Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Napoli Nights’ first occurred by leaf cuttings in 2014 in Sappemeer, Netherlands. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Peperomia cultivar ‘Napoli Nights’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Napoli Nights’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing varieties of Peperomia known by the inventor.
-
- 1. Peperomia ‘Napoli Nights’ exhibits leaves that have a grey-green colored pattern on the upper surface and are pink-red on the lower surface.
The closest comparison cultivars are Peperomia ‘Eden Rosso’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,379) and Peperomia ‘Sunrise’ (U.S. application Ser. No. 15/330,448) ‘Napoli Nights’ is distinguishable from ‘Eden Rosso’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Peperomia ‘Napoli Nights’ exhibits leaves having an upper surface with a grey-green colored pattern. In comparison, the upper leaf surface of ‘Eden Rosso’ is green.
- 2. Peperomia ‘Napoli Nights’ exhibits leaves having a lower surface that is pink-red. In comparison, the leaf lower surface of ‘Eden Rosso’ is red.
‘Napoli Nights’ is distinguishable from ‘Sunrise’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Peperomia ‘Napoli Nights’ exhibits larger leaves than the leaves of ‘Sunrise’.
‘Napoli Nights’ is distinguishable from the female parent plant by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. The leaves of ‘Napoli Nights’ are more oval in shape than the leaves of the female parent plant. In comparison, the leaves of the female parent plant are more rounded.
- 2. The upper surface of the leaves of ‘Napoli Nights’ exhibit a grey-green pattern. In comparison, the upper surface of the leaves of the female parent plant are green.
‘Napoli Nights’ is distinguishable from the male parent plant by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. The leaves of ‘Napoli Nights’ are less elongated than the leaves of the male parent plant.
- 2. The upper surface of the leaves of ‘Napoli Nights’ exhibit a grey-green pattern. In comparison, the upper surface of the leaves of the male parent plant are dark green.
- 3. The lower surface of the leaves of ‘Napoli Nights’ are pink-red. In comparison, the lower surface of the leaves of the male parent plant are red.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Peperomia ‘Napoli Nights’. The photograph shows an overall view of a 35 week old plant. 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.
The following is a detailed description of the new Peperomia cultivar named ‘Napoli Nights’. Data was collected in Sappemeer, Netherlands from 35 week old plants grown in a glass greenhouse in 15 cm. diameter containers. The time of year was Winter and the temperature range was 18-25 degrees Centigrade during the day and 15-18 degrees Centigrade at night. The light level was natural light level. No photoperiodic treatments or growth retardants were used. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2015 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘Napoli Nights’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
