Abstract
A new cultivar of Leucadendron plant named ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ that is distinguished by a very compact bushy plant habit with densely packed foliage and many current-season branches which are bright red in color and which bear terminal inflorescences whose bracts are yellow in color with contrasting bright orange-red coloration to their apex and margin. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ bears only male flowers which are bright yellow in color.
Description
Genus and species: Leucadendron stelligerum x discolor.
Variety denomination: ‘Hawaii Sunrise’.
The present invention relates to a new variety of Leucadendron stelligerum x discolor, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Hawaii Sunrise’. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ is a hybrid selection which originated from the inventor's breeding program in Kula, Hi. The genus Leucadendron is a member of the Proteaceae or Protea family which is a significant commercial class of Mediterranean plants used as cut flowering stems and ornamental container plants.
The inventor commenced his Leucadendron breeding program in 2011. The objective of the breeding program to develop small or dwarf types of protea for the worldwide container ornamental plant market with novel foliage colors, superior growth habits for commercial cultivation and for home gardener use.
In 2012, the inventor carried out controlled pollination between an unnamed and unpatented plant of Leucadendron discolor as the male parent and an unnamed and unpatented plants of Leucadendron stelligerum as the female parent. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ was selected as an individual in spring 2013 for its bright yellow flowers and naturally compact and branching and secondary branching habit.
The inventor first asexually propagated ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ in May 2014 in Kula, Hi. using semi-ripe tip cuttings. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ has been found to remain stable and uniform and to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ has not been sold or made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing date of the instant application.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’. In combination these traits set the new cultivar apart from all others existing varieties of Leucadendron known to the inventor. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environment, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
-
- 1. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ exhibits a very compact bushy plant habit.
- 2. A one-year old plant of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ is approximately 30 cm in height and 30 cm in width.
- 3. A four-year old plant of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ is approximately 65 cm in height and 65 cm in width.
- 4. The foliage of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ is densely packed with pairs of leaves every 6 mm.
- 5. The stems of the current year's growth of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ are bright red in color.
- 6. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ branches prolifically once established. 8 to 12 branches are formed each year on the previous year's wood.
- 7. The terminal inflorescences of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ are borne on every current season branch and are very numerous.
- 8. Each inflorescence of ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ bears showy bracts which are yellow in color with contrasting bright orange-red coloration to their apex and margin.
- 9. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ bears only male flowers which are bright yellow in color.
- 10. ‘Hawaii Sunrise’ prefers humus rich, acid, well-drained medium, which is low in phosphorus.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the distinguishing traits of the new Leucadendron cultivar ‘Hawaii Sunrise’. All plants in the drawings have received one pinch after initial cutting establishment. The plants have been grown without any chemical growth regulators. The drawings were made from digital photographic images. Although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional or digital photography.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the Leucadendron plant named ‘Hawaii Sunrise’. Data was collected from a four year old plant which had been grown outdoors in a 5 gallon container in Oxnard, Calif. Phenotypic differences may be observed with variation in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions. The color determinations are in accordance with the 2007 Edition of The Royal Horticulture Society Colour Chart except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
