Abstract

A new and unique x Hansara plant named ‘Jumping Jacks’ characterized by compact habit and upright curving, lanceolate foliage with grayish-green color and in high ultra violet light exposure developing burgundy speckling on top and bottom. The leaf tips are narrowly acute without mucros. The marginal teeth are small and flexible. The plant produces yellowish flowers with orangish backs from orangish buds on tall stiff scapes are suitable as a potted plant or for the garden and loaded with nectar for attracting hummingbirds or for use as a houseplant.

Description

Botanical classification: x Hansara hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Jumping Jacks’.
STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES UNDER 37 CFR 1.77(b)(6)
The first public disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a private sale, was made by Walters Gardens, Inc. on Mar. 12, 2018 to Plant Delights Nursery, Inc. Plants for this sale were obtained from the inventor. This sale was followed by a non-enabling brief description on the website of Plant Delights Nursery, Inc. and also on the Walters Gardens, Inc. website. No plants of x Hansara ‘Jumping Jacks’ have been sold, in this country or anywhere in the world, nor has any disclosure of the new plant been made, more than one year prior the filing date of this application, and such sale or disclosure within one year was either derived directly or indirectly from the inventor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the new and distinct x Hansara plant, x Hansara ‘Jumping Jacks’ hybridized on Nov. 5, 2014 by the inventor at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA as a cross between an unreleased proprietary trigeneric hybrid known by the breeder code HAN12-83-9 (not patented) as the female or seed parent and x Mangave ‘Bloodspot’ (not patented) as the male or pollen parent. Through trials at the same nursery the plant was referred to by the code xMANG 15-25-5. The new plant has been successfully asexually propagated initially in 2017 by division at the same nursery in Zeeland, Mich. and also by tissue culture. Both methods of asexual propagation systems have been found to produce stable and identical plants that maintain all the unique characteristics of the original plant in successive generations.
Following the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, Division III, Number 6, this first tri-generic hybrid is assigned the hybrid genus name of the original hybridizer' name and adding the “ara” ending to produce x Hansara. This is the first such hybrid known to the inventor between the three genera Agave, Manfreda and i Polianthes.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
X Hansara ‘Jumping Jacks’ differs from its parents as well as all other Manfreda, Agave, Polianthes and X Mangave known to the applicant. The most similar known cultivar known to the inventor are the x Mangave hybrids: ‘Bloodspot’ (not patented), ‘Spotty Dotty’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,917, ‘Inkblot’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,431, ‘Bad Hair Day’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,279, ‘Freckles and Speckles’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,904, ‘Pineapple Express’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,613 and Polianthes x bundrantii ‘Opal Eyes’ (not patented).
‘Spotty Dotty’ has broader, more green leaves, with more spotting and more longitudinally folding in the leaf. ‘Inkblot’ has a more arching habit, the leaves arch more, with larger spots and a more greyed-purple coloration to the leaf and the flowers are burgundy-colored and not the yellowish flowers of ‘Jumping Jacks’. ‘Freckles and Speckles’ has narrower foliage with more spotting and the flowers are yellowish-chartreuse from green buds on shorter stalks. ‘Bad Hair Day’ has more narrow foliage with much more arching habit and burgundy flowers. The male parent, ‘Bloodspot’, is more compact in habit, the leaves are shorter, thicker and more fibrous than the new plant. ‘Pineapple Express’ has taller scapes with chartreuse flowers and thicker leaves. Polianthes ‘Opal Eyes’ has fewer flowers that are narrow, more tubular and pinkish on the outside and burgundy on the inside. The foliage on ‘Opal Eyes’ is narrower and more flexible without marginal teeth. The female parent has bright yellow flowers on heavier branched scapes and the foliage is broader than the new plant. The male parent, ‘Bloodspot’, is more compact in habit, the leaves are shorter, thicker and more fibrous than the new plant.
The new plant, ‘Jumping Jacks’, is unique from all of these Agave, X Mangave and Manfreda known to the inventor by the following combined traits:
    • 1. Compact habit with upright curved leaves;
    • 2. Foliage lanceolate with small flexible marginal teeth;
    • 3. Foliage develops burgundy speckling on top and bottom of glaucous green leaves;
    • 4. Leaves are succulent and slightly fleshy;
    • 5. Rapid growth rate;
    • 6. Yellowish flowers from orangish buds on stiff, tall, lightly-branched scapes.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The photograph of the new plant demonstrates the overall appearance of the new plant including the unique traits as a three-year-old plant grown in a container in a greenhouse with supplemental water and fertilizer and moved to a full-sun trial garden for summer growth. The colors are as accurate as reasonably possible with color reproductions. Ambient light spectrum, temperature, source and direction may cause the appearance of minor variation in color.
FIG. 1 shows the new plant in a container from above with a close-up of the foliage.
FIG. 2 shows a close-up of the flowers and buds in the upper scape.
FIG. 3 shows the new plant with upright curving foliage and developing flower stalk.
FIG. 4 shows the top portion of the scape with flowers and buds.
