Description
Botanical designation: Caladium X hortulanum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘THAI RD OF14-1145’.
The Inventor/Applicant asserts that no publications nor advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor/Applicant. Inventor/Applicant claims a prior art exception under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Caladium plant, botanically known as Caladium X hortulanum, commercially referred to as a lance leaf-type Caladium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘THAI RD OF14-1145’.
The objective of the Inventor's breeding program is to create new Caladium plants that have uniform plant habit, exceptional container and garden performance and attractive and unique leaf coloration.
The new Caladium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2013 in Avon Park, Fla. of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Toasted Bronze’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Caladium X hortulanum ‘Candy Cane’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Caladium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Avon Park, Fla. in September, 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Caladium plant by “chipping” the tubers (cutting the tuber into segments with each segment containing an axillary bud and tuber cortical tissue) in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Zolfo Springs, Fla. since April, 2015 has shown that the unique features of this new Caladium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Caladium have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature 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 ‘THAI RD OF14-1145’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘THAI RD OF14-1145’ as a new and distinct Caladium plant:
-
- 1. Intermediate in height and upright to mounding plant habit; dense, leafy and bushy appearance.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
- 3. Lance-type leaves that are dark reddish purple in color with darker-colored venation.
- 4. First emerging leaves have a metallic sheen.
- 5. Petioles that are close to black in color with pink-colored stripes.
- 6. Tolerant to full sunlight conditions.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘Toasted Bronze’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium are intetmediate in height whereas plants of ‘Toasted Bronze’ are short in height.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium are more vigorous than plants of ‘Toasted Bronze’.
- 3. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are smoother and broader than leaves of plants of ‘Toasted Bronze’.
- 4. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are dark reddish purple in color with darker-colored venation whereas leaves of plants of ‘Toasted Bronze’ are reddish bronze in color with darker-colored venation.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘Candy Cane’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium are intetmediate in height whereas plants of ‘Candy Cane’ are short in height.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium are more vigorous than plants of ‘Candy Cane’.
- 3. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are dark reddish purple in color with darker-colored venation whereas leaves of plants of ‘Candy Cane’ are greenish white in color variably flushed with light red with dark red to dark greyed purple-colored venation and narrow green-colored margins.
- 4. Leaf petioles of plants of the new Caladium are close to black in color with pink-colored stripes whereas leaf petioles of plants of ‘Candy Cane’ are green in color tinged with tannish pink.
Plants of the new Caladium can be compared to plants of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Burning Heart’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,071. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of ‘Burning Heart’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are lance types whereas leaves of plants of ‘Burning Heart’ are fancy types.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are thicker and more cupped than leaves of plants of ‘Burning Heart’.
- 3. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are dark reddish purple in color with darker-colored venation whereas leaves of plants of ‘Burning Heart’ are bronze red in color with contrasting salmon orange-colored spots and dark red bronze-colored venation.
- 4. Leaf petioles of plants of the new Caladium are close to black in color with pink-colored stripes whereas leaf petioles of plants of ‘Burning Heart’ are tannish green to tannish pink in color.
Plants of the new Caladium can also be compared to plants of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Thai 4’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of ‘Thai 4’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are lance types whereas leaves of plants of ‘Thai 4’ are fancy types.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are thicker and more cupped than leaves of plants of ‘Thai 4’.
- 3. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are dark reddish purple in color with darker-colored venation whereas leaves of plants of ‘Thai 4’ are green with a dark bronze cast in color with reddish bronze-colored centers and numerous coral pink-colored spots.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Caladium plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Caladium plant.

The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 15-cm containers in a polypropylene-covered shade house (30% light reduction) in Avon Park, Fla. and plants grown in ground beds under full sunlight conditions in an outdoor nursery in Crewsville, Fla. The plants were grown under cultural practices typical of commercial shade house and outdoor nursery production. During the production of the shade house-grown plants, day temperatures ranged from about 28C to 33C, night temperatures ranged from about 22C to 25C and light levels were about 1,300 μmol. During the production of the outdoor nursery-grown plants, day temperatures ranged from about 29C to 35C, night temperatures ranged from about 23C to 26C and full sunlight conditions. Plants grown in the shade house were seven weeks old and plants grown in the outdoor nursery were five months old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 and 2015 Editions, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
