ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Chlorophytum comosum
cultivar Bonnie.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chlorophytum plant, botanically known as
Chlorophytum comosum,
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Bonnie.
The new Chlorophytum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of
Chlorophytum comosum
‘Variegatum’, not patented. The new Chlorophytum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Voorschoten, The Netherlands in 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings taken at Voorschoten, The Netherlands in June, 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Chlorophytum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Bonnie’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bonnie’ as a new and distinct Chlorophytum cultivar:
1. Rounded and compact plant habit.
2. Dark green and white bi-colored foliage.
3. Curled, reflexed and twisted leaves.
Plants of the new Chlorophytum differ from plants of the parent cultivar and other known cultivars of Chlorophytum primarily in leaf orientation as plants of the parent selection and other known cultivars have flat leaves that do not curl, reflex or twist.
