ABSTRACT:
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed:
Anthurium andreanum
L.
Variety denomination: Anthbneq.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘Anthbneq’ is a new and distinct cultivar of
Anthurium
, botanically known as
Anthurium andreanum
L. The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program, and was obtained from a cross made during such a program in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, in 1996.
The female or seed parent was a pink-colored
Anthurium
pot plant identified as number 95-634-01 (unpatented). The male or pollen parent was an orange-colored flowering
Anthurium
pot plant identified as number 95-532-02 (proprietary, unpatented). ‘Anthbneq’ was discovered and selected as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by the inventor, Jan van Dijk, in March, 1998 in a controlled environment in a glasshouse in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands.
Subsequent asexual reproduction by tissue culture in Bleiswijk has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and in combination distinguish ‘Anthbneq’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact growth and early and rich flowering;
2. Mini-type pot plant with large flowers, maximum growth to approximately 40 cm;
3. Long and erect peduncle; flowers held just above the foliage;
4. Full plant habit due to rich shoot formation and compactness of the plant;
5. Dark green leaves, durable and very glossy, with light green primary veins;
6. Red and durable flowers, slowly turning brownish-red with age;
7. Large amount of flowers in relation to the amount of leaves resulting in good leaf to flower ratio size.
In comparison to the female parental cultivar, 95-634-01, ‘Anthbneq’ has larger spathes, red in color, whereas the spathes of the female parent are pink. ‘Anthbneq’ has larger, darker leaves than the female parent.
In comparison to the male parental cultivar, 95-523-02, ‘Anthbneq’ has more durable, smaller spathes, red in color, whereas the spathes of the male parent are orange. In addition, ‘Anthbneq’ grows more compact than the male parent.
