ABSTRACT:
Latin name of the Genus and species of the plant claimed:
Anthurium andreanum
L.
Variety denomination: Anthefaqyr.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘Anthefaqyr’ is a new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium, botanically known as
Anthurium andreanum
L. The new cultivar is a white, naturally occurring, single plant mutation of Anthurium plant named ‘Pink Champion’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,115), and was obtained from a production clone of the cultivar ‘Pink Champion’ in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, in 1999.
The female or seed parent of ‘Pink Champion’ was a pink-red-colored proprietary
Anthurium andreanum
hybrid having selection number 93-372-02 (unpatented). The male or pollen parent was
Anthurium andreanum
‘Sweet Heart Pink’ (unpatented).
The white, single plant mutation was discovered and selected as a flowering plant within a planting of the production clone of
Anthurium andreanum
‘Pink Champion’ by the inventor Jan van Dijk. The plant was asexually reproduced by tissue culture in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, at a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and in combination distinguish ‘Anthefaqyr’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. The plant flowers early and fully and can be sold at different stages, from a mini-type plant of 35 cm in height to a larger plant that is 70 cm in height;
2. The scape is long and erect, resulting in inflorescences held well above the foliage;
3. The plant habit is full due to shoot formation;
4. The leaves are dark green, compact and durable with light green primary veins;
5. The inflorescences are durable and white in color, slowly turning green as they mature.
6. The amount of inflorescences is large in relation to the amount of leaf blades resulting in excellent leaf to inflorescence ratio.
In comparison to the parental cultivar ‘Pink Champion’, ‘Anthefaqyr’ is white (RHS 156D; both surfaces), and ‘Pink Champion’ is pink (RHS 52B; upper surface and RHS 51B; lower surface).
‘Anthefaqyr’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength, without any change in the genotype.
