Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Crassula plant named ‘OVCRTR’ which is characterized by the combination of a broad spreading to upright growth habit, an abundance of dark green, narrowly spatulate foliage with an aspect which varies from convex to tubular, foliage apices which vary from obtuse to cup-shaped, and the stability of all 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 Crassula ovata.
Variety denomination: The inventive variety of Crassula disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘OVCRTR’.
This application claims priority to the Community Plant Variety Rights application number 2016/2990, filed Nov. 30, 2016, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Parentage: ‘OVCRTR’ originated as a naturally occurring, whole-plant mutation of Crassula ‘Hobbit’ (not patented). In 2014, the inventor discovered the mutation at his commercial greenhouse in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, growing amongst a cultivated population of ‘Hobbit’ plants. The mutation was noted for its compact habit and unique foliage characteristics and was subsequently isolated for further evaluation in order to confirm the distinctness and stability of the characteristics first observed. Upon confirmation of distinctness and stability, ‘OVCRTR’ was selected for commercialization.
Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of ‘OVCRTR’, by way of stem cuttings, was first initiated in 2014 at the inventor's commercial greenhouse in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands. Through five subsequent generations, the unique features of this cultivar have proven to be stable and true to type.
The cultivar ‘OVCRTR’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and 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 ‘OVCRTR’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘OVCRTR’ as a new and distinct Crassula cultivar:
-
- 1. Crassula ‘OVCRTR’ exhibits a broad spreading to upright growth habit; and
- 2. Crassula ‘OVCRTR’ exhibits an abundance of thick dark green foliage; and
- 3. Crassula ‘OVCRTR’ exhibits narrowly spatulate foliage with an aspect which varies from convex to tubular; and
- 4. Crassula ‘OVCRTR’ exhibits foliage apices which vary from obtuse to cup-shaped.
The following observations and measurements describe a 16 month-old ‘OVCRTR’ plant grown in 17 cm nursery pots at a commercial greenhouse in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands. Plants were produced using conventional greenhouse production protocols for Crassula which consisted of minimal overhead irrigation and no fertilizer applications. No pest or disease control measures were utilized in production. Plants were grown under shade (approximately 20,000 lux) and no photoperiodic treatments or artificial light was given to the plants.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘OVCRTR’ 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 differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climactic and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2015 (sixth edition).
A botanical description of ‘OVCRTR’ and comparisons with other varieties of Crassula are provided below.
