ABSTRACT:

Genus:
Lavandula.
Species:
angustifolia.
Denomination: Lavang 38.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of lavender known botanically as
Lavandula angustifolia
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Lavang 38’. The new invention is a selected seedling from a group of seedlings produced by the open pollination between
Lavandula angustifolia
‘Midhall’ (unpatented) and an unidentified
Lavandula angustifolia
cultivar. The female parent plant is ‘Midhall’ and the male parent plant is an unidentified cultivar of
Lavandula angustifolia.
‘Lavang 38’ was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated area of Christchurch, New Zealand in 1995.
The new lavender ‘Lavang 38’ is distinct and was selected for compact bushy habit, flower spike colour, and striking presence. ‘Lavang 38’ is distinguishable from the parent plant, and all other existing varieties known to the inventor, by colour and size of spike, positioning of peduncles, foliage colour, shape of plant, and low growing habit.
The new variety ‘Lavang 38’ was first asexually propagated by the inventor in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1997 using soft to semi-hardwood cuttings. Since that time subsequent generations have been determined fixed, stable and true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new
Lavandula
cultivar ‘Lavang 38’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Lavang 38’ from all other existing varieties of
Lavandula
known to the inventor. ‘Lavang 38’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
