ABSTRACT:

Latin name of the genus and species of plant claimed:
Thunbergia alata.
Variety denomination: ‘Orange Wonder’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Thunbergia plant, botanically known as
Thunbergia alata
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Orange Wonder’.
The new Thunbergia resulted from the induced mutation of the seed variety
Thunbergia alata
(not patented). The ‘Orange Wonder’ cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in 1999, at Rheinfelden, Germany. ‘Orange Wonder’ is vegetatively reproduced rather than produced from seed, is more vigorous and has darker flower color than the parent.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal tip cuttings has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) exhibits bright orange flowers;
(b) forms dark green foliage;
(c) exhibits a good branching character; and
(d) exhibits a vigorous climbing and trailing growth habit.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to ‘Susie Orange’ (not patented). In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar exhibit a more vigorous growth habit, and darker orange flowers than those of ‘Susie Orange’.
