Abstract
A new and distinct selection of Raphiolepis indica (L.) Lindl. shrub (known popularly as Indian Hawthorn) which shall be referred to hereinafter as Raphiolepis indica cultivar Monruce. Raphiolepis indica cultivar Monruce differs distinctively from its parent, Raphiolepis indica cultivar Enchantress by my new selection having a more dense growth habit, a compact inflorescence, and double flowers with large spreading light pink petals.
Description
This invention relates to a new and distinct selection of Raphiolepis indica, a member of the rose family, Rosaceae. Raphiolepis indica cv. Monruce was discovered as a chance seedling among Raphiolepis indica `Enchantress` at Monrovia Nursery Company, 18331 E. Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, Calif. in April of 1976.
The plant to date is known to exist only within the boundaries of Monrovia Nursery and has not been offered for sale or described in any publication.
My new selection has been strictly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Monrovia Nursery Company. The distinct phenotypic characteristics of this selection that set this plant apart from the parent plant would be lost genetically through sexual reproduction. Therefore, propagation is restricted to asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction is prohibited.
The accompanying illustrations show a typical specimen of the plant according to this invention and are depicted in color as nearly true as possible.
Raphiolepis indica cv. Monruce differs from its parent Raphiolepis indica cv. Enchantress in its distinct open double flowers with large pink petals and a more dense inflorescence. These attributes of our new selection are shown in the lower photograph.
The upper photograph displays the dense compact overall growth habit of my new selection.
My new selection, Raphiolepis indica cv. Monruce was deliberately selected for the attributes mentioned above and shown in the accompanying photos.
