Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant named ‘Dongimeguinor’ characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and full appearance; dark green-colored leaves with dark red-colored lower surfaces; freely and early flowering habit; medium-sized single-type dark orange-colored flowers with pink and dark red-colored centers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Impatiens hawkeri.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DONGIMEGUINOR’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dongimeguinor’.
The new Impatiens plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Koka, Ethiopia and Encinitas, California. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching, early and freely flowering New Guinea Impatiens plants with large attractive flowers and good garden performance.
The new Impatiens plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in November, 2017 in Koka, Ethiopia of a proprietary selection of Impatiens hawkeri identified as code number NN13-002477-003, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Impatiens hawkeri identified as code number NN15-713729-004, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Impatiens plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Encinitas, California in April, 2018.
Asexual reproduction of the new Impatiens plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Encinitas, California since June, 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Impatiens 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, daylight 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 ‘Dongimeguinor’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dongimeguinor’ as a new and distinct Impatiens plant:
    • 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit; dense and full appearance.
    • 4. Dark green-colored leaves with dark red-colored lower surfaces.
    • 5. Freely and early flowering habit.
    • 6. Medium-sized single-type dark orange-colored flowers with pink and dark red-colored centers.
    • 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are not as vigorous as plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are dark orange color with pink and dark red-colored centers whereas flowers of plants of the female parent selection are hot pink in color with darker pink-colored centers.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more vigorous than and not as compact as plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Leaves of plants of the new Impatiens are darker green in color than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are dark orange color with pink and dark red-colored centers whereas flowers of plants of the male parent selection are magenta in color.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of Impatiens hawkeri ‘Timor’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,144. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from plants of ‘Timor’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more vigorous than plants of ‘Timor’.
    • 2. Lower leaf surfaces of plants of the new Impatiens are dark red in color whereas lower leaf surfaces of plants of ‘Timor’ are green in color.
    • 3. Plants of the new Impatiens have larger flowers than plants of ‘Timor’.
    • 4. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are dark orange color with pink and dark red-colored centers whereas flowers of plants of ‘Timor’ are bright orange in color.
Plants of the new Impatiens can also be compared to plants of Impatiens hawkeri ‘Duemagwis’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 26,782. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from plants of ‘Duemagwis’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more upright and more vigorous than plants of ‘Duemagwis’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Impatiens have smaller flowers than plants of ‘Duemagwis’.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are dark orange color with pink and dark red-colored centers whereas flowers of plants of ‘Duemagwis’ are light red in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Impatiens 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 Impatiens plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Dongimeguinor’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Dongimeguinor’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer in 16.5-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Encinitas, California and under cultural practices typical of commercial New Guinea Impatiens production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 25 C, night temperatures averaged 18 C and light levels ranged from 4,000 to 4,500 lux. Plants were 16 weeks old when the photographs were taken and 14 weeks old when the description was taken.
