Definitions
- the invention relates to a new and distinct plant variety of the Cactaceae family and which has been named the Zygocactus truncatus ⁇ Gold Charm ⁇ by the inventors.
- Certain plant varieties of the Cactaceae family are well known in the foliage plant market and among these are those which are commonly referred to as the Christmas Cactus varieties because they tend to bloom during the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday seasons.
- the new plant variety was developed in a nursery located at Winter Garden, Fla., as a hybrid secured by cross pollinating the flower of a plant specimen of a research variety developed by the inventors and characterized by a white bloom with pollen from a plant specimen of yet another research variety that is characterized by what may be considered as an off colored generally "yellow" bloom.
- the seeds taken from the fertilized seed pod were cultivated at the mentioned nursery location and after prolonged observation of the seedlings, the hybridized plant of the new plant variety was selected and asexually reproduced by the inventors at the Winter Garden nursery through the propagation of stem cuttings taken from the original hybrid plant.
- Both of the parental varieties are research varieties that have not appeared in the marketplace.
- specimens of the new plant variety generally resemble the parent varieties but are distinguishable from these varieties and from other related varieties known to the inventors by a growth habit which is evident in plant specimens propagated and grown under nursery conditions utilized in the growing of tropical plants in Winter Garden, Fla., as combining the following principal characteristics:
- a bloom with perianth tube forming tepals that are characterized by an axially oriented crease that extends proximally from the distal end of the tepal, and a bloom with perianth tube forming and laminating tepals that in colors in the marginal areas are dominated by a yellow hue.
- the accompanying drawings serve by color photographic means to illustrate the new plant variety and wherein one sheet shows two one year old specimens of the new plant variety and which were simultaneously propagated and grown from two phylloclades in a conventional 3" pot found in the marketplace and pruned to one tier of phylloclades above the propagated phylloclade after six months growth to promote breaking.
- Other photographs illustrate the phylloclades with an attached bloom and maturing bud.
- Yet another photograph is an enlargement of the bloom as seen from the abaxial side of the erect tube forming tepals while another photograph shows a bloom as sectioned generally longitudinally through the perianth tube and ovary to expose the style and stamen arrangement.
- B. Phylloclades.--(1) General: Elongated and flat with a transversely elongated, areole bearing, truncated apex, with inwardly tapering basal wing margins that merge with a broad pointed basal juncture with the phylloclade therebelow, and with an axially located areole associated with each tooth.
- Midrib (a) General -- Extends longitudinally of phylloclade and continuously through joints with laterally tapering cortex at wing insertions. Pith surrounding vascular bundles that branch and provide lateral extensions of the vascular system to the marginal teeth.
- Thickness About 1-2 mm. in the area intermediate the margin and midrib. 2. Width: Usually between 5 and 16 mm. as measured from the longitudinal axis of the phylloclade to the most offset lateral areole. (e) Color (at maturity) -- Commonly moderate yellow green (7.5 GY 5/6), and/or moderate olive green (7.5 GY 3/4) (7.5 GY 4/4) (7.5 GY 4/6). (4) Teeth: (a) General shape -- Generally flattened and tapered along margins from wing insertions to an apex having a hyaline, single cell, pointed spine with nonpredictable bending. 1. Adaxial marginal shape: Usually straight to convex. 2. Abaxial marginal shape: Usually straight to concave.
- Areoles (a) Terminal areole -- Large, elongated, oval shaped with several acicular bristles, and several buds that may mature into either new phylloclades or flowers. The opposite ends of the areole are located adjacent to subsidiary areoles which are in turn located at the axils of the teeth that are located at the distal end of the phylloclade. (b) Axillary areoles -- A few acicular bristles without glochidia but having copious, short, brownish, multi-cellular, wooly hairs. In areoles that are located below the teeth at the distal end of the phylloclade, there is usually only one bud and which is frequently latent.
- Color Inner whorl members usually have a translucent white basal area that merges with marginal blade areas which in color are dominated by a yellow hue. Commonly light yellow (near 2.5 Y 8/6) (2.5 Y 9/6) (near 2.5 Y 8/8), moderate yellow (near 2.5 Y 8/6) (near 2.5 Y 8/8), pale yellow (2.5 Y 9/4), brilliant yellow (near 2.5 Y 8/8), strong yellow (near 2.5 Y 8/8), and/or pale orange yellow (10 YR 9/4).
- Orientation at full bloom Varying inwardly in the whorl from erect to recurve.
- E. Androecium (stamens).--(1) General: Numerous exserted and diadelphous stamens with one group having filaments basally fused to the perianth tube and the other group having filamenths basally united to form a nectary housing, thin annulus around the style which is provided with a thin, deflexed, irregularly toothed margin or ruffle at the throat of the annulus.
- Stamen number (a) Tube attached group -- Usually between 85 and 110. (b) Basally united group -- Usually between 15 and 25.
- Filaments (a) General -- Translucent and glabrous with anther connective. (b) Shape -- Long, slender and terete.
- F. Gynoecium (pistil).--(1) General: Compound, pariental placentation with united sytle surrounded by annular diffuse nectary at its insertion. (2) Style: (a) General -- Stout and inserted in ovary. (b) Shape -- Elongated, cylindrical and very slightly tapered towards stigma. (c) Texture -- Fleshy and smooth. (d) Color -- Commonly strong reddish purple (near 2.5 RP 4/10). (e) Size (at full bloom -- 1. Length: Usually between 60 and 75 mm. 2. Diameter: Usually between 0.9 and 1.4 mm. intermediate the opposite ends.
- Stigma (a) General -- Exserted and erect with usually 6 to 8 marginally adhering lobes. (b) Shape -- Elongated and tapering toward the lobe tips with the lobes having relatively blunt apices. (c) Texture -- Fleshy and smooth with the inner sides of the lobes having short glutinous capillary hairs. (d) Color -- Commonly moderate purplish red (near 10 RP 5/8) (near 7.5 RP 5/8). (e) Size (lobe length at full bloom -- Usually about 3.5-4 mm. along inner margins.
- Ovary (a) General -- Epigynous with thin epidermis and distally located concavity and with a single cavity having 5 or 6 carpels with numerous ovules. (b) Shape -- Ovid and gradually broadening from insertion to floral end. Ribbed single concavity with inserted style. (c) Texture -- Succulent with glabrous thin outer epidermis. (d) Color -- Commonly moderate greenish yellow (near 10 Y 7/8) (10 Y 7/6), strong greenish yellow (near 10 Y 7/8), moderate yellow green (2.5 GY 5/6) (2.5 GY 6/6) and/or strong yellow green (2.5 GY 7/8). (e) Size (at full bloom -- 1.
- Length Usually between 8 to 12 mm. between the insertion and concavity base.
- Age of plant 12 months from initial propagation.
- Phylloclade color Moderate olive green (7.5 GY 4/4).
- Perianth tube 1. Base to keel length -- 36 mm. 2. Interior major axis (at throat) -- 13 mm. 3. Interior minor axis (at throat) -- 8 mm. (b) Blades: 1. Maximum length (keel to tip) -- 32 mm. 2. Minimum length (keel to tip) -- 22 mm. 3. Maximum width -- 15 mm. 4. Minimum width -- 12 mm.
