ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dieffenbachia plant, botanically known as Dieffenbachia sp. and referred to by the cultivar name Camouflage.
The new Dieffenbachia is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Dieffenbachia sp. cultivar Panther, not patented. The new Dieffenbachia was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Apopka, Fla. as a single plant within a large population of plants of the cultivar Panther. The selection of this plant was based on its attractive and unique variegated foliage. Plants of the new Dieffenbachia and plants of the parent cultivar differ in leaf variegation pattern and leaf colors.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by cuttings and by tissue-culture at Apopka, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Dieffenbachia 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 ‘Camouflage’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Camouflage’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large leaves with attractive and unique variegation pattern.
2. Upright and outwardly arching growth habit.
3. Freely clumping habit, full and dense plants.
The cultivar Camouflage has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and/or fertilizer rate, without, however, any variance in genotype.
