Description

DISCOVERY
This invention relates to a new and distinct selection of Raphiolepis indica, a member of the rose family, Rosacease. Raphiolepis indica cv. Monto was discovered as a chance sport growing among other Raphiolepis indica `Enchantress` at Ponto Nursery, 2545 Ramona Drive, Vista, Calif. in the Spring of 1981.
The plant to date is known to exist only within the boundaries of Monrovia Nursery and Ponto Nursery and has not been offered for sale or described in any publication.
REPRODUCTION
My new selection has been strictly asexually reproduced by cuttings and grafting at Ponto Nursery and Monrovia Nursery Company. Sexual reproduction, such as seed propagation could result in a potential loss of the selected attributes. Therefore, sexual reproduction is prohibited and propagation is restricted to asexual reproduction by vegetative cuttings or grafts. Seed progeny from this new selection has not been observed, though it is not expected to reproduce true from seed.

The accompanying photos show a typical specimen of the plant according to this invention.
