Abstract
A new cultivar of Aphelandra plant named ‘White Wash’ that is characterized by white/beige leaves with spots of green and undulating leaves with undulating margins and undulations parallel to the secondary veins.
Description
Botanical classification: Aphelandra squarrosa.
Variety denomination: ‘White Wash’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Aphelandra plant botanically known as Aphelandra squarrosa and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘White Wash’.
‘White Wash’ originated from the crossing of the female or seed parent, an unnamed proprietary Aphelandra squarrosa cultivar and the male or pollen parent, Aphelandra squarrosa ‘Snow White’ (not patented). The crossing was conducted in 2011 in Sappemeer, Netherlands. The resulting seeds were subsequently planted and grown. The cultivar ‘White Wash’ was selected by the inventor in 2012 in a controlled environment as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a cultivated area of Sappemeer, Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘White Wash’ first occurred by leaf cuttings in 2012 in Sappemeer, Netherlands. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Aphelandra cultivar ‘White Wash’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘White Wash’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing varieties of Aphelandra known by the inventor.
- 1. Aphelandra ‘White Wash’ exhibits white/beige leaves with spots of green.
- 2. Aphelandra ‘White Wash’ exhibits undulating leaves with undulating margins and undulations parallel to secondary veins.
The closest comparison cultivars are Aphelandra ‘Dania’ (not patented) and Aphelandra ‘Rembrandt’ (not patented). ‘White Wash’ is distinguishable from ‘Dania’ by the following characteristics:
- 1. ‘White Wash’ exhibits white/beige leaves with spots of green. In comparison, the leaves of ‘Dania’ are green with narrow white veins.
- 2. ‘White Wash’ exhibits undulating leaves with undulating margins and undulations parallel to secondary veins. In comparison, the leaves of ‘Dania’ are mostly smooth with very slight puckering between the veins.
‘White Wash’ is distinguishable from ‘Rembrandt’ by the following characteristics:
- 1. ‘White Wash’ exhibits white/beige leaves with spots of green. In comparison, the leaves of ‘Rembrandt’ are green with wide white veins.
- 2. ‘White Wash’ exhibits undulating leaves with undulating margins and undulations parallel to secondary veins. In comparison, the leaves of ‘Rembrandt’ are mostly smooth with very slight puckering between the veins.
‘White Wash’ is distinguishable from the female parent plant by the following characteristics:
- 1. ‘White Wash’ exhibits white/beige leaves with spots of green. In comparison, the leaves of the female parent plant are dark green with white veins.
- 2. ‘White Wash’ exhibits undulating leaves with undulating margins and undulations parallel to secondary veins. In comparison, the leaves of the female parent plant are mostly smooth with very slight puckering between the veins.
‘White Wash’ is distinguishable from the male parent plant by the following characteristics:
- 1. ‘White Wash’ exhibits white/beige leaves with spots of green. In comparison, the leaves of the male parent plant are bright white with spots of green.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Aphelandra ‘White Wash’. The photograph shows an overall view of a 20 week old plant.
The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
The following is a detailed description of the new Aphelandra cultivar named ‘White Wash’. Data was collected in Sappemeer, Netherlands from 20 week old plants grown in a glass greenhouse in 14 cm. diameter containers. The time of year was Summer and the temperature range was 18-25 degrees Centigrade during the day and 15-18 degrees Centigrade at night. The light level was natural light level. No photoperiodic treatments or growth retardants were used. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2015 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘White Wash’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
