ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinctly asexually reproduced variety of bermudagrass (
Cynodon dactylon
(L.) Pers).
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Background of the Invention
This invention relates to a new and distinct perennial bermudagrass cultivar (
Cynodon dactylon
), tested under the designations “Addis” and “GB”. I discoverd ‘Addis’ under cultivated conditions in a field near Vernon, Tex. ‘Addis’ was identified as a distinctly different vegetative patch or segregated clonal plant differing by improved winter hardiness from the variety ‘Callie.’ The grass identified as ‘Addis’ differed from ‘Callie’ in that after freezing temperatures, ‘Addis’ entered dormancy, and with the resumption of warm temperatures, resumed growth. Similar cold temperatures killed the surrounding ‘Callie’. ‘Callie’ is not patented and was never a commercial success due to its lack of winter survival. I asexually reproduced ‘Addis’ by taking stolons of the plant material from the field, cutting the stolons and rhizomes into segments, each with a vegetative bud, and rooted them in potting media in a greenhouse in Vernon, Tex.
For purposes of registration under the “International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants” (generally known by its French acronym as the UPOV Convention) and noting Section 1612 of the Manual of Plant Examining Procedure, it is proposed that the title of the invention is Bermuda grass plant named ‘Addis’.
