Abstract
A new and distinct Echinopsis cultivar named ‘Mystic Maze’ is disclosed, characterized by a unique cristata plant form. magenta and orange flowers in a triple whorl produced over a 6 to 7-month period. Plants are fast growing and robust, resulting in both improved propagation rates and improved finished plant production times. Echinopsis is an ornamental cactus, useful as an indoor ornamental plant and outdoors in warm climates.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Echinopsis hybrida cristata.
Variety denomination: ‘MYSTIC MAZE’.
The new cultivar, Echinopsis ‘Mystic Maze’, was found by the inventor, Renee O'Connell, as the result of a naturally occurring whole plant mutation. The parent variety is the patented proprietary variety referred to as Echinopsis ‘Flambeau’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,946. Selection of the new variety was made April of 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Mystic Maze’ was first performed in Vista, Calif., during the Summer of 2013 at a commercial greenhouse, by vegetative cuttings. ‘Mystic Maze’ has since produced multiple generations and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘Mystic Maze’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. 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 ‘Mystic Maze’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Mystic Maze’ as a new and distinct Echinopsis cultivar:
- 1. Unique cristata form. The new variety is a cristate mutation of Echinopsis ‘Flambeau’, a patented plant, registered as U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,946. Cristation is not common among Echinopsis (Chamaelobivia) hybrids; in fact, the only other known cristate is the type species Echinopsis chamaecereus (Chamaecereus silvestrii) cristatus.
- 2. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ forms whorls of cristate growth, rarely or never producing a non cristate shoot.
- 3. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ is robust growing, producing a large crest in less than a year from a 9 cm pot, enhancing the production time in a commercial environment.
- 4. As Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ is fast growing, and whorls are produced quickly, it is possible to propagate many cuttings from a larger plant, thereby enhancing propagation time in a commercial nursery environment.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Mystic Maze’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘Mystic Maze’ differ in the following;
- 1. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ varies from Echinopsis ‘Flambeau’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,946 in that the growth is produced in cristate or fasciate whorls, rather than stem offsets (peanuts) from a central plant stem.
- 2. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ has not been observed to flower, whereas Echinopsis ‘Flambeau’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,946 is very floriferous.
- 3. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ does not have an upright morphology as does Echinopsis ‘Flambeau’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,946, due to the morphology of the cristation, the growth is more spherical and lateral.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Mystic Maze’ are comparable to the unpatented, commercial variety Echinopsis chamaecereus cristatus. The two Echinopsis varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘Mystic Maze’ differs in the following:
- 1 Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ grows larger and can fill a gallon pot in less than a year, whereas Echinopsis chamaecereus cristatus is a smaller growing plant.
- 2. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ rarely forms non-cristate stems, whereas Echinopsis chamaecereus cristatus forms non-cristate stems more frequently.
- 3. Echinopsis chamaecereus cristatus produces flowers on the “normal” shoots, a characteristic not observed of Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ as it rarely produces “normal” (flowering) shoots.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Mystic Maze’ can also be comparable to the unpatented commercial variety Echinopsis multiplex cristatus. The two Echinopsis varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘Mystic Maze’ differs in the following:
- 1. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ grows much faster than Echinopsis oxygona cristatus, enhancing production times in a commercial nursery environment.
- 2. Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ produces cristate growth with many more whorls than Echinopsis oxygona cristatus, which tends to produce thicker, but less numerous whorls of growth.
- 3. In a commercial nursery environment, the propagation of new crests of Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’, due to the more robust growth and significantly more numerous production of cristate whorls, is more enhanced than that of Echinopsis oxygona cristatus.
- 4. Echinopsis oxygona cristatus does occasionally produce lilac tinted white flowers on the cristate growth, whereas Echinopsis cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ has not been observed to flower on the cristate growth.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and equipment. While the colors in these photographs may display variances of color as compared to the living cultivar, due to LRV (light reflectance value), they are as accurate as possible using conventional photographic techniques. Colors in the photographs may appear to differ slightly from the color values cited in the botanical description, which accurately describe the colors of new Echinopsis hybrida cristata ‘Mystic Maze’. Photographs provided by the breeder.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe Echinopsis hybrida cristata ‘Mystic Maze’ plants in a commercial shade house in Vista, Calif. Temperatures ranged from 34° F. to 90° F. night and day. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments or chemical treatments were given to the plants. Natural light conditions were approximately 2500-4000-foot candles of light. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
