ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct Anthurium cultivar characterized by the following combination of repeatedly observed traits:
1. Medium to large size plant,
2. very vigorous growth,
3. large, thick, leathery, dark green leaves,
4. early, year—round and abundant flowering,
5. prominent, relatively large, bright red, very glossy spathes held slightly above foliage on strong peduncles,
6. light colored spadixes, sharply contrasting with spathes and primarily selected for those characteristics being so selected from the progeny of the cross stated below being grown near Altha, Fla. in a cultivated area.
ORIGIN AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Asexual reproduction of this cultivar by tissue culture was directed by me. The reproduction establishes that the plant does in fact maintain the characteristics described in successive generations.
The plant was initially selected where grown in a planned breeding program in or near Altha, Fla. and has been reproduced by tissue culture in the vicinity of Altha, Fla. since 1992 with the characteristics stated. The female parent was a selected clone of Anthurium ‘Ruth Morat’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,540, a/k/a Lady Ruth™ and the male parent was a selected
Anthurium andreanum
seedling designated “AR 891” (patent not applied for). The cross was made in 1991 and the seedling was selected in 1992.
This new cultivar has been identified as Anthurium ‘A4’. It is possible that other identification will be adopted in the trade but the name selected will serve for the purposes hereof.
