Botanical designation: Mandevilla hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunmandecripi’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla, botanically known as Mandevilla hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunmandecripi’.
The new Mandevilla is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Mandevilla hybrida cultivar Sunmandecrim, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,539. The new Mandevilla was discovered and selected by the Inventor from within a population of plants of the cultivar Sunmandecrim in a controlled environment in Amstelveen, The Netherlands in August, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings in Leimuiderbrug, The Netherlands, since September, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Mandevilla are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Sunmandecripi have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunmandecripi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunmandecripi’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
Plants of the new Mandevilla differ primarily from plants of the parent, the cultivar Sunmandecrim, in flower color as plants of the cultivar Sunmandecrim have red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the Mandevilla cultivar Sunmandecos, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,202. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Amstelveen, The Netherlands, plants of the Mandevilla differed from plants of the cultivar Sunmandecos in the following characteristics:
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors in the new Mandevilla.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunmandecripi’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower and flower bud of ‘Sunmandecripi’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the summer in an outdoor nursery in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan for about five months. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 25° C. and night temperatures averaged 15° C.
