Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Zamioculcas , botanically known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia , and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Chameleon.’
- the cultivar ‘Chameleon’ 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.
- Plants of ‘Chameleon’ can be compared to plants of the parent selection, Zamioculcas zamiifolia . However, ‘Chameleon’ differs from the plants of the mutation parent selection in the following characteristics:
- Plants of the new Zamioculcas can be compared to plants of the Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘LUCKYWHIT,’ disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,614. In side-by-side comparisons, however, the new Zamioculcas differs from plants of ‘LUCKYWHIT’ in the following characteristics:
- FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Chameleon,’ illustrating a branch with leaves that have yet to change color.
- FIG. 2 is a close-up view of a typical branch of ‘Chameleon,’ illustrating variegated leaves as they are changing in color from yellow to green.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Chameleon,’ illustrating branches with green, variegated, and yellow leaves at once.

Abstract
Description
-
- 1. Variegated leaves.
- 2. Metachromatic leaves.
-
- 1. Plants of ‘Chameleon’ produced variegated leaves that are yellow with green veins and tips.
- 2. Plants of ‘Chameleon’ produced leaves that change from a solid yellow to a solid green color.
- 3. Plants of ‘Chameleon’ display green, yellow, and/or variegated leaves all at once.
-
- 1. Plants of ‘Chameleon’ not only displayed variegated leaves, but also displayed pure green and pure yellow leaves at once.
- 2. Plants of ‘Chameleon’ produce metachromatic leaves that change in color from yellow, to variegated green and yellow, to green.
- Botanical classification: Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Chameleon.’
- Propagation:
-
- Typical.—By vegetative leaf cuttings.
- Time to initiate roots, summer.—About 3 weeks at temperatures of 21 degrees to 35 degrees Celsius.
- Time to initiate roots, winter.—About 4 weeks at temperatures of 15 degrees to 29 degrees Celsius.
- Time to produce a rooted young plant, spring/summer.—About 22 weeks at temperatures of 21 degrees to 35 degrees Celsius.
- Root description.—Free branching and dense. Fleshy when plants mature and white to light brown in color. Medium to thick in thickness.
-
- Plant:
-
- Growth habit.—Upright, compact, narrow inverted triangular, stemless, low to moderately vigorous, compact leaves in loose basal rosettes. Appropriate for 8.5 cm or larger containers.
- Plant shape.—Whole plant narrow inverted triangular shape.
- Height.—Approximately 25 cm to top of highest leaf.
- Plant spread.—Approximately 15 cm in a 15 cm pot.
- Growth rate.—Moderate.
- Branching characteristics.—Non-branching, leaves grow directly from a basal clump.
- Number of clumps.—About 2-3 per plant.
- Number of leaves per clump.—About 3-6 leaves.
- Age of plant described.—Approximately 9 months.
-
- Foliage:
-
- Leaf.—Pinnately compounded, about 3-6 leaves per basal rosette, each with 12-24 leaflets. Leaflets have short petiolules (about 4-5 mm in length and about 2 mm in diameter). Petiolules are medium to strong and smooth. Leaves are about 3 cm in width. Petiole diameter at base is about 4 mm and length is about 19 mm. Petiole diameter at the lowermost leaflet is about 6 mm.
- Leaflet.—Obtuse shape, rounded base, apex is acute. Average length is 5 cm and average width is about 2.5 cm. Very glossy and smooth texture on the top surface, glabrous and matte on the bottom surface. Color ranges from bright yellow 2C, to light green 149D, to deep green 135B. Color is the same on upper and under side. Margin is entire, without serration.
- Venation.—Pinnate type. Color ranges from a yellow-green 1491D to green 142A and changes over time due to metachromatic nature of ‘Chameleon.’ Color is the same on upper and under side.
- Rachis.—Length is approximately 50 cm. Width at narrowest point is approximately 0.30 cm and above clump is approximately 1.90 cm. Very strong in strength, smooth, dull, glabrous texture. Near yellow-green 149D in color.
- Stipules.—Inconspicuous or entirely absent (exstipulate).
- Other structures.—None present.
-
- Flower: Flower development has not been observed. No reproductive organs have been observed. Typically, non-flowering.
- Other characteristics:
-
- Seed production.—No seed production to date has been observed.
- Disease resistance.—Neither resistance nor susceptibility to diseases or pests have been observed in this variety.
- Drought tolerance.—Moderate tolerance for drought.
- Temperature tolerance.—Low temperature tolerance to at least 7 degrees Celsius, high temperatures to at least 38 degrees Celsius.
- Other distinctive characteristics.—Overall commercially interesting appearance. Metachromatic leaves that change in color from yellow, to variegated yellow with greens veins, to green over the course of about one month. At once, the ‘Chameleon’ may display all color variations described herein.
