ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Angelonia plant, botanically known as
Angelonia augustifolia
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Balangdeum.
The new Angelonia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Arroyo Grande, Calif. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact Angelonia cultivars with unusual and attractive flower colors.
The new Angelonia originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the proprietary selection of
Angelonia augustifolia
identified as code number 545 as the male, or pollen parent, with the
Angelonia augustifolia
cultivar Blue Pacific, not patented, as the female, or seed parent. The cultivar Balangdeum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Arroyo Grande, Calif. in 1997. Plants of the new Angelonia and plants of its sibling cultivar, Balangpurp (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/475,994), differ primarily in flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Arroyo Grande, Calif., has shown the the unique features of this new Angelonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Balangdeum’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Balangdeum’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dark purple-colored flowers.
2. Upright plant habit.
3. Freely basal-branching habit.
4. Dark green leaves.
The new Angelonia differs primarily from the parent cultivar, code number 545, in flower color.
The new Angelonia can be compared to the parent cultivar, Blue Pacific. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Arroyo Grande, Calif., plants of the new Angelonia differ from plants of the cultivar Blue Pacific in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Angelonia are more compact, shorter and have shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Blue Pacific.
2. Plants of the new Angelonia have larger leaves than plants of the cultivar Blue Pacific.
3. Plants of the new Angelonia and the cultivar Blue Pacific differ in flower color.
