Definitions

  • the instant invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Philodendron which was hybridized by me in the vicinity of Orlando, Fla.
  • the seedling which is the result of an extensive breeding program which I have conducted and which I carry on, was selected and developed from a cross in which the female parent was a seedling also bred and selected by me, whose parentage included Philodendron hastatum, erubescens, wendlandii, imbe and an unidentified species not generally known in the trade, the female parent being well known in the trade, although none of these particular species is patented.
  • the male parent was also bred and selected by me, and is well known in the trade, being a cross between two unidentified species, one of the latter being the same as the unidentified species in the female parent.
  • the cross resulting in the instant species may be said to derive specifically from a seedling selected from a group that was the result of using Philodendron Burgundy as a female parent and Philodendron Emerald Queen as a male parent.
  • Asexual propagation of my new variety has been accomplished by tip cuttings, including the removal and rooting of terminal shoots of three or more leaves.
  • Other methods of propagation have been resorted to, including single eye cuttings, air layering and the use of plunged cane length cuttings.
  • My new variety brings to the trade brilliant colors not available before the leaf itself being a brilliant green with stem and petioles of dark red.
  • the sheath covering of each new leaf is dark red, curls back as the leaf unfolds and remains on the plant for months.
  • the general impression provided therefore is a group of dark red curls attached to the stem of the plant.
  • Plant Pat. 3,502 Patented Mar. 5, 1974 My new variety is a climber, and when plants of eight leaves or over are involved, these plants will thus require normal staking.
  • the rate of growth may be termed medium; undernormal greenhouse conditions a young plant developing in three or four months from a tip cutting. It may require six to eight months to produce a mature plant from the same type of cutting.
  • My new variety is vigorous, compact and non-branching.
  • An average plant of five leaves propagated from a tip cutting may attain a height of twelve inches and a spread of 18 to 20 inches.
  • a five-leaved plant propagated from a single eye cutting will attain a height of eight inches, with a spread of 12 to 15 inches.
  • Leaf itself Inches (a) Widthwidest point 4 to 7 (b) Width1" from tip 1 /2 (0) Length 6 to 10 (d) Thickness .016 to .019
  • a new and distinct variety of Philodendron plant substantially as herein disclosed, characterized as to novelty by its superior growth, resistance to shot-gun fungus and bacterial soft rot, dark red and green color contrasts in immature and mature leaves, the dark red color of the sheath covering with its tendency to curl back and hang on to the stem for long periods of time.
