Abstract
A new plant variety is distinguishable from specimens of the Hoya Carnosa Krinkle 8 variety by a predominance of variegated leaf blades which at the upper epidermal side have a solid green center field and an albino marginal area which is frequently discontinuous, and leaf petioles which in color are dominated by greenish yellow, yellow green, purplish pink, reddish purple, purplish red, pink and/or red hues.
Description
The invention relates to a new and distinct plant variety of the milkweed (Asclepiadaceae) family which has been developed from a mutation that appeared on a plant specimen of the Hoya Carnosa Krinkle 8 variety.
A principal objective of the invention has been to develop a healthy robust appearing new plant variety for the foliage plant market and which is related to the Hoya Carnosa Krinkle 8 variety and distinguishable from it and other related varieties that are currently being offered in the market place.
The new variety has been asexually reproduced in a nursery at Winter Garden, Fla., by the propagation of stem cuttings taken from the mutation. Through successive propagations, the new variety has been found to be distinguishable from its antecedents and related varieties known to the inventors by a growth habit which is comparable to that of the Hoya Carnosa Krinkle 8 variety but which is characterized by the following principally distinguishing characteristics:
1. A predominance of variegated leaf blades which at the upper epidermal side have a solid green center field and an albino marginal area which is frequently discontinuous in the specimen, and
2. Leaf petioles which in color are dominated by greenish yellow, yellow green, purplish pink, reddish purple, purplish red, pink and/or red hues.
The accompanying drawings serve by color photographic means to illustrate the new variety and wherein one sheet of drawings shows a potted plant specimen of the new variety together with a close-up photo showing the variegated foliage characteristics, a second sheet of the drawings illustrates an infloresence and a third sheet contains photographs further illustrating the inflorescence of the new variety.
The following is a detailed description of the new variety and is based on observations made during the months of July and August of well fertilized specimens which were grown in the central Florida area under 85% shaded nursery conditions and wherein temperatures ranged from about 60° F. to about 85° F. during the winter months and from about 75° F. to about 95° F. during the summer months.
Except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obviously used, color terminology and color designations reported herein are in accord with the ISCC-NBS method of designating colors as described in the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, Circular 553, entitled "The ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Colors and a Dictionary of Color Names" with the color designations having been derived through interpretation of Munsell Color Notations obtained by comparing specimens with color specimens in the current Neighboring Hues Edition of the Munsell Book of Color, published by Munsell Color Company, Inc., of Baltimore, Md., and to which the reported color notations (Munsell Hue/Munsell Value/Munsell Chroma) are referenced.
