ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Cyperus papyrus
cultivar Perkamentus Compact.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Perkamentus plant, botanically known as
Perkamentus papyrus,
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Perkamentus Compact.
The new
Cyperus
is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of
Cyperus papyrus
cultivar Perkamentus, not patented. The new
Cyperus
was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tissue culture micropropagation at Bleiswijk, The Netherlands since June, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new
Cyperus
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Perkamentus Compact’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Perkamentus Compact’ as a new and distinct
Cyperus
cultivar:
1. Compact plant habit.
2. Upright growth habit.
3. Relatively short stems.
4. Elongated slender green-colored rays subtending the inflorescences.
Plants of the new
Cyperus
are most similar to plants of the parent cultivar Perkamentus. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, plants of the new
Cyperus
differed from plants of the cultivar Perkamentus primarily in plant height as plants of the new
Cyperus
were about 25% shorter than plants of the cultivar Perkamentus.
