ABSTRACT:
LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Dracaena Vand. Ex. L. fragrans
(group Compacta)
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘0101WS’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Dracaena plant botanically known as
Dracaena Vand. Ex. L. fragrans
(group Compacta) and hereinafter referred to the cultivar name ‘0101WS ’.
The new cultivar was selected by the inventor, Ruud A. M. Scheffers, in Honselersdijk, in 1998. The new cultivar was obtained as a natural mutation of
Dracaena Vand. Ex. L. fragrans
(group Compacta) named ‘Surprise’ (unpatented).
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by the inventor in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands, in 1998. Subsequent asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by division has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true to type.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and in combination distinguish ‘0101WS’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. three main colors in the length of the leaves: dark green (RHS 139 A), and grayish green center colors (RHS 188A and RHS 189D), secondary colors include: small green center stripes (RHS 144 A), and green varieties (between 139A and 188A), followed by a first rim of white (RHS 155B) and an outer rim of lemon color (RHS 144A);
2. strong, leathery, lightly ribbed leaves; and
3. leaf length 25 cm, leaf width 5-5.5 cm.
‘0101WS’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype on the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without any change in genotype. The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate those generally used in horticultural practice.
In comparison with the well-known
Dracaena Vand. Ex. L. fragrans
(group Compacta) named ‘Surprise’, ‘0101WS’ has three main colors in the length of the leaves: dark green center color, followed by a first, broad rim of white and an outer rim of lemon color. ‘Surprise’ does not have the broad white rim.
