Abstract

A new and distinct selection of Raphiolepis indica (L.) Lindl. Shrub (popularly known as Indian Hawthorn) which hereinafter will be referred to as Raphiolepis indica cultivar Monrey. Raphiolepis indica cv. Monrey differs from its parent, Raphiolepis indica cv. Enchantress, by my new selection having flowers with fewer petals which are a richer, darker pink color and a larger and looser inflorescence. Another characteristic of Raphiolepis indica cultivar Monrey is its more open overall growth habit.
