Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new variety of Dieffenbachia cv. Camro distinguishable from the presently known varieties of this class and coloring by the following characteristics:
  • the particular arrangement of the variegation of the leaves are arranged in the form of large, irregular white blotches or macules covering about 70% of the surface of the leaves in the summer and about 60% of the surface in the winter.
  • the new variety also shows this large variegation of the foliage in the juvenile stage as well as at the adult stage.
  • the growth habit of the plant is pyramidal and compact.
  • the leaves or leaf blades of the new variety are longer and wider and its petioles are shorter than those of its male parent Compacta variety.
  • the present invention provides the horticultural industry with an attractive, ornamental new variety of Dieffenbachia plants suitable for potting.
  • the goal of the applicant was to create a new variety which would have the desired characteristics, by systematic selection and crossings carried out by applicant.
  • the female stool (or root clump) was an unpatented and unnamed variety of Dieffenbachia selected from seedlings of a crossing of two other unpatented and unnamed varieties.
  • the male stool chosen came from an unpatented classic Compacta variety.
  • the seeds obtained from the offspring of this crossing therefore including a combination of the existing genetic factors present in the parent cells.
  • This finally selected plant had leaves adorned with very pale yellow variegations on the young leaves and whiter ones on the adult leaves. These variegations occupy a much greater portion of the surface of the leaf, in the juvenile as well as at the adult stage, than with all other known Dieffenbachia varieties and particularly when compared with that of the Compacta type.
  • Camro variety Among other distinguishing characteristics of the Camro variety are its pyramidal growth habit with small suckers or vegative shoots; its surface variegations or mottling is not appreciably affected by seasonal conditions, light or temperature, and the number of shoots comming from the base or stool is low and these shoots are of moderate height for this type of plant.
  • the new variety has leaves or leaf blades averaging about 25 cm. in length, i.e. about 5% longer than the length of the leaves of a classic Compacta variety.
  • the new variety has leaves averaging about 12 cm. in width, i.e. about 15% wider than those of the classic Compacta variety.
  • the length of the petioles of the new variety averaging about 14 cm., is about 13% shorter than the length of the petioles of a classic Compacta-type variety.
  • the number of leaves on the main stalk is about 11% greater than the number of leaves ordinarily borne on the main stalk of a classic Compacta-type variety.
  • Camro The above-mentioned shoots will be marketed under the varietal name Camro. It will be used on all commercial plants at the production stage as well as the marketing stage. It is thus that the new Camro variety of Dieffenbachia, object of the patent, is obtained.
  • the botanical and descriptive characteristics are listed below are of a plant asexually reproduced by applicant in his greenhouse at Bouchemaine, Angers, France as observed by applicant in the summer of 1980.
  • Plant 40 to 60 cm. high.
  • Leaf About 24-26 cm in length, about 11-12 cm. in width and rougher in texture than the Compacta.
  • color names beginning with a small letter signify the name of that color, as used in common speech is aptly descriptive.
  • Photo 1 of Sheet 1 shows in color the initial stools. On the left, the known Compacta variety; on the right, the new variety.
  • Photo 2 of Sheet 1 shows in color the new variety at the juvenile stage; on the left, known Compacta-type variety at the same vegative stages.
  • Photo 3 on Sheet 1 shows, in color, the variegations of the backs of the leaves of adult plants. On the left, the classic, known, Compacta-type variety. On the right, the new variety.
  • Photo 4 on sheet 2 shows, in color, On the left, a specimen of the new variety at the adult stage. On the right, at the same vegatative stage, a classic Compacta-type variety.
  • Photo 5 on sheet 2 shows in color, a potted, adult Dieffenbachia cv. Camro plant.
  • Sheet 3 is a black and white illustration showing the variegations of leaves of the new Camro variety and the classic Compacta type.
