Abstract
This plant is particularly characterized by its drawf habit which makes the plant eminently suitable for cultivation as a potted plant. In addition, the plant bears several flowering stalks which carry large attractive flowers which are predominantly of a lavendar-purple coloration. The attractive flowers and desirable growth habit of this plant provide a novel addition to the range of Alstroemerias.
Description
This new variety of Alstroemeria originated as a seedling resulting from crossing two plants growing among a collection of breeding stock maintained in a greenhouse in Encinitas, Calif. The seedling was selected for further propagation and testing because of the dwarf characteristic of the whole plant, and the attractive color of the many large flowers contained in several inflorescences as the plant bloomed in a pot. The select plant was propagated in Salt Lake City, Utah by division of the rhizomatous rootstock and through tissue culture. The distinguishing characteristics of the new plant hold true in successive vegetative generations and appear to be firmly fixed. Propagation work is currently being carried out in Salt Lake City using tissue culture methods.
This new variety of Alstroemeria plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing in full color showing a blooming umbel of the plant with buds and flowers in different stages of flower development. The color renditions are believed to be as close to the specified color as is possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of the new Alstroemeria variety with color designations according to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England. The observations were made on plants grown in a greenhouse in Utah County, Utah, during the summer.

At the middle of the upper margin there is a small green, 141A, protruberance where 4-6 green ribs originate and pass through a lighter colored region to the purple patch. The reverse surfaces of these petals are of the violet group, 84C, with green venation visible in the upper parts. Inner petals: Upper; The tip of the upper margin is green 141A. The upper portion is pale purple, 76D. In the middle section is a yellow spot, 2B. The basal portion is light purple, 76C. These petals are marked with numerous dark, greyed-purple, streaks, 187A, which extend from the base almost to the tip. The distal portions of the reverse surfaces are violet, 84B, middle sections are yellow green, 154B, and the basal portions are violet, 84C. Streaks on the upper surface are visible through the petal. Lower; The body of the petal is pale purple, 76D, with a central violet colored area, 84B. The tip of the upper margin is green.
