Abstract
‘Sumi1’ is a new and distinctive Monstera plant which is characterized by a small stature, relatively small laminas borne on short petioles, glossy dark green foliage that is flecked and blotched with cream white, and the stability of all characteristics from generation to generation. The new variety is typically produced as an indoor ornamental plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is Monstera deliciosa.
Variety denomination: The inventive variety of Monstera disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘Sumi1’.
Parentage: The claimed plant originated as an induced, whole-plant mutation of Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’ at a plant tissue culture laboratory in Nong Sam Wang, a subdistrict in the Nong Suea district of Pathum Thani province, Thailand. First the inventor harvested explants from a ‘Thai Constellation’ (not patented) plant at his commercial plant tissue culture laboratory. These ‘Thai Constellation’ explants were then cultured with a combination of 1.0 mg/L of benzyl adenine (BA) and 0.1 mg/L of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) to induce both callusing and mutation. Once the cultures were callused, they were treated with 1.0 mg/L benzyl adenine (BA) to induce foliar shoot development and growth. In February of 2019, once foliage had developed, the inventor observed one cultured plantlet that exhibited a smaller stature than the parent. Said culture was deflasked, acclimatized, and grown to a mature size in order to confirm the distinctness and stability of the characteristics first observed. After further evaluation, it was determined that the smaller stature of the claimed plant would prove favorable for commercial marketability.
Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of ‘Sumi1’, by way of leaf cuttings, was first performed in March of 2019 at the inventor's greenhouse in Nong Sam Wang, a subdistrict in the Nong Suea district of Pathum Thani province, Thailand. ‘Sumi1’ was subsequently reproduced by way of meristematic tissue culture propagation in February of 2020. Five successive generations so produced have shown that the unique features of the instant cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘Sumi1’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the instant environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Monstera cultivar ‘Sumi1’. These traits, in combination, distinguish ‘Sumi1’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
-
- 1. Monstera ‘Sumi1’ exhibits a compact growth habit and a small stature; and
- 2. Monstera ‘Sumi1’ exhibits relatively small laminas which are moderately incised and fenestrate; and
- 3. Monstera ‘Sumi1’ exhibits short petioles; and
- 4. Monstera ‘Sumi1’ exhibits dark green to yellow-green foliage that is irregularly blotched and flecked with a mixture of white, yellow-white, and orange-white; and
- 5. Monstera ‘Sumi1’ exhibits sporadic blistering of the epidermis in the form of irregularly shaped, translucent-white blotches.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
With the exception of the stem description, the following observations and measurements made in April of 2023 describe a 12-month-old ‘Sumi1’ plant grown in a 15 cm nursery container at commercial greenhouse in Nong Sam Wang, a subdistrict in the Nong Suea district of Pathum Thani province, Thailand. A 3-year-old ‘Sumi1’ plant, grown in a 25 cm container, at the same location and in the same manner as the 12-month-old plants, was used for the stem description. Plants were produced using conventional greenhouse production protocols for Monstera which consisted of growing under 70-percent shade cloth, regular overhead irrigation every two days, and slow-release granular fertilizer applications at 4-month intervals, approximately. Preventative applications of Imadacloprid and Metalyx pesticides were utilized to prevent insect infestations and fungal infections. No photoperiodic treatments or artificial light was given to the plants.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘Sumi1’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such measurements are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 1986 (second edition).
