ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Ficus benjamina
. The varietal denomination of the new cultivar is ‘Eclipse’. The new variety was discovered as a mutation in a controlled planting of
Ficus benjamina
‘Midnight’ in a greenhouse in s'Gravenzande, The Netherlands in January 1995.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety is a naturally-occurring mutation of the Ficus variety ‘Midnight’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,856). The new variety was discovered by the inventor Jan van Geest in a greenhouse in s'Gravenzande, The Netherlands in January 1995. The new variety was first asexually propagated by vegetative cuttings in March 1995, in s'Gravenzande, The Netherlands. Asexual reproduction through succeeding generations has established that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
