ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification: The botanical classification of the new variety is
Aglaonema
(
rotundum
‘Giant’×
tenuipes
)×
Aglaonema brevispathum
‘Dynamic Ruby’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of Aglaonema, botanically known as
Aglaonema
(
rotundum
‘Giant’×
tenuipes
)×
Aglaonema brevispathum.
The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Dynamic Ruby.’
The new variety was a seedling among a progeny of
Aglaonema
(
rotundum
‘Giant’×
tenuipes
)×
Aglaonema brevispathum,
selected by the inventor.
Asexual propagation of the new variety in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand by vegetative cuttings has demonstrated the uniformity and the stability through successive generations of this new Aglaonema.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed in the new variety grown from top cutting under 50% shade conditions in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand which closely approximate those commonly used in commercial horticultural practice.
The features that in combination are believed to distinguish the new variety from other known varieties of Aglaonema include: compact growth habit with freely branching, dense and upright growth; ovate leaves; adaxial leaf surfaces having dark green color with light red mottles.
COMPARISON WITH OTHER VARIETY
Plants of the new Aglaonema can be compared to plants of the Aglaonema ‘Siam Majesty’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,141, Filed: Nov. 6, 2000). Plants of the new Aglaonema differ from plants of ‘Siam Majesty’ by the following combination of characteristics:
1. Whereas the adaxial leaf surfaces of the new variety have light red mottles instead of plain green as found in ‘Siam Majesty’;
2. The mid-rib and veins of the new variety are green instead of red as found in ‘Siam Majesty’; and
3. The leaf tip of the new variety is attenuate while that of the ‘Siam Majesty’ is acuminate.
Plants of the new Aglaonema may be compared to its parents. Plants of the new Aglaonema differ from female parent, the unpatented
Aglaonema
(
rotundum
‘Giant’×
tenuipes
) which commonly grown in Thailand, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The adaxial leaf surfaces of the new variety have light red mottles on green surface with green midrib instead of plain green surface with red midrib as found in the female parent;
2. The leaf tip of the new variety is attenuate while that of the female parent is acuminate.
Plants of the new Aglaonema differ from plants of
Aglaonema brevispathum
(unpatented), which commonly grown in Thailand the male parent, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The adaxial leaf surfaces of the new variety have light red mottles on green surface instead of white mottles on green surface as found in the male parent;
2. The leaf of the new variety is ovate while that of the male parent is lanceolate.
