BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct perennial zoysiagrass cultivar identified as ‘Serene’ zoysiagrass (herein referred to as ‘Serene’). The inventor, Ronald Nixon, discovered ‘Serene’ under cultivated conditions in a sod field near Midway, Ala. ‘Serene’ was identified as a distinctly different vegetative patch or segregated clonal plant differing by finer leaf texture and softer leaf from the suspected parental variety ‘Meyer’ (unpatented). The inventor asexually reproduced ‘Serene’ by taking vegetative cuttings of the plant material from the field including stolons and rhizomes, cutting the rhizomes and stolons into segments, each with a vegetative bud, and rooted them in potting media near Midway, Ala. Another zoysiagrass discovered by Ronald Nixon, the variety ‘Marion’, is the subject of the co-pending U.S. Patent Application, having application Ser. No. 10/091,876.
For purposes of registration under the “International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants” (generally known by its French acronym as the UPOV Convention) and noting Section 1612 of the Manual of Plant Examining Procedure, it is proposed that the title of the invention is Zoysiagrass plant named ‘Serene’.
