ABSTRACT:

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Dracaena Vand.
Ex.
L. fragrans
(group Compacta)
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘0104SJ’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Dracaena plant botanically known as
Dracaena Vand.
Ex.
L. fragrans
(group Compacta) and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘0104SJ’.
The new cultivar was selected by the inventor, Ruud A. M. Scheffers, in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands, in July 1998. The new cultivar was obtained as a natural mutation of
Dracaena Vand.
Ex
L. fragrans
(group Compacta) ‘White Jewel’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,433).
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by the inventor in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands, in October 1998. Subsequent asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by division has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true to type.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and in combination distinguish ‘0104SJ’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. compact growth habit;
2. growth rate 10-20% higher than Dracaena ‘White Jewel’;
3. narrow, ensiform leaves;
4. leaf length of 30 cm and leaf width of 6.5 cm;
5. leaf coloration: dark green margin, closest to RHS 139A; pure white stripes next to margin; center color is light grey green, RHS 190D; stripes along center are green, RHS 139A and greyish green, RHS 189D, with whiteish stripes.
‘0104SJ’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype on the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength without any change in genotype. The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate those generally used in horticultural practice.
In comparison with the well-known Dracaena cultivar
Dracaena Vand.
Ex.
L. fragrans
(group Compacta) ‘Ulises’ (unpatented), ‘0104SJ’ grows much more compact, the leaves of ‘0104SJ’ are shorter and stronger than the leaves of ‘Ulises’. In comparison to ‘White Jewel’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/326,615) ‘0104SJ’ has relatively more green in the leaves than ‘White Jewel’, and ‘0104SJ’ also has shorter and stronger leaves.
