Abstract
A new and distinct Grevillea laurifolia cultivar named ‘TWD02’ which is characterized by a very prostrate growth habit with a vigorous growth rate, dark green mature foliage and bronze colored juvenile foliage with red immature branches, dense foliage, racemose inflorescence with approximately 40 dark red-purple florets with prominent bright red-purple exserted styles, and the stability of these characteristics from generation to generation.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is Grevillea laurifolia.
Variety denomination: The inventive variety of Grevillea laurifolia disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘TWD02’.
This application claims priority to the Australian Plant Breeder's Rights application number 2016/100, filed on May 4 2016, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Parentage: In January of 2009, a unique Grevillea seedling was discovered by the inventor at his commercial nursery in Kalaru, New South Wales, Australia. The seedling was found growing in a cultivated crop of Grevillea laurifolia (unnamed common form of the species); the claimed plant exhibited a faster rate of growth compared to all other surrounding plants, which is known to grow slowly. The new seedling was isolated and grown to a mature size to confirm the distinctness and stability of the characteristics initially observed. After further evaluation and confirmation of the desirable traits, the claimed plant was selected for commercialization and given the breeder denomination, ‘TWD02’.
Asexual Reproduction: ‘TWD02’ was first asexually reproduced by way of softwood stem cuttings in 2010 at the inventor's nursery in Kalaru, New South Wales, Australia. It was found to grow uniform and reproduce in a stable manner and 10 successive cycles of vegetative propagation have proven to be true to type also.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Grevillea cultivar ‘TWD02’. These traits, in combination, distinguish ‘TWD02’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
-
- 1. Grevillea laurifolia ‘TWD02’ exhibits a short plant height and a prostrate, densely foliaged growth habit; and
- 2. Grevillea laurifolia ‘TWD02’ exhibits a fast rate of growth; and
- 3. Grevillea laurifolia ‘TWD02’ exhibits dark green mature foliage and bronze colored juvenile foliage, with red immature branches; and
- 4. Grevillea laurifolia ‘TWD02’ exhibits a secund raceme inflorescence with approximately 40 dark red-purple florets with prominent bright red-purple exserted styles.
The following is a detailed botanical description of a new and distinct variety of a Grevillea laurifolia ornamental plant known as ‘TWD02’. Plant observations were made on plants grown in Clarendon, New South Wales, Australia. Unless indicated otherwise, the descriptions disclosed herein are based upon observations made from 1.5 year-old mature ‘TWD02’ plants, grown in a 30 cm nursery pot. These plants were grown outdoors in full sun. Plants were not fertilized and were periodically watered with overhead irrigation, as needed. No pest and disease measures were taken. Observation data was recorded in the April of 2017.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, younger plants. ‘TWD02’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may vary with variations in the environment such as season, temperature, light intensity, day length, cultural conditions and the like. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 1986 edition except where common terms of color are used.
