Abstract
A new and distinct Chamelaucium cultivar named ‘EARLY OFIR’ is disclosed, characterized by short, dark colored leaves and medium sized white colored flowers. The new variety is early blooming. The new variety is a Chamelaucium, normally producing cut flower stems, or as a garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Chamelaucium uncinatum.
Variety denomination: ‘EARLY OFIR’.
The new Chamelaucium cultivar is a product of chance discover by the inventor, Nitzan Nir, in Kfar Hess, Israel. The new variety was discovered as a seedling growing in a field of various Chamelaucium uncinatum varieties during January of 2009, at a commercial nursery in Kfar Hess, Israel. As the variety was discovered as a chance seedling, the parents are unknown.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar has been performed by vegetative cuttings. This was first performed at a commercial nursery in Kfar Hess, Israel in November of 2009 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘EARLY OFIR’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘EARLY OFIR’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘EARLY OFIR’ as a new and distinct Chamelaucium cultivar:
-
- 1. Short leaves.
- 2. Dark leaf color.
- 3. Early blooming season beginning in December in the Northern Hemisphere.
- 4. White flower.
- 5. Medium flower size.
- 6. Light yellow flower bud.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘EARLY OFIR’ are comparable to the variety Chamelaucium uncinatum ‘Ofir’, unpatented. The two Chamelaucium varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘EARLY OFIR’ begins flowering approximately 2 months earlier than ‘Ofir’. Additionally, flower buds of ‘Early OFIR’ are Yellow-Green, whereas flower buds of ‘Ofir’ are white. Additionally, plants of ‘Ofir’ produce approximately 20% more lateral branches than plants of ‘Early Ofir’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘EARLY OFIR’ can also be compared to the commercial variety Chamelaucium uncinatum ‘Alba’, unpatented. These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however ‘EARLY OFIR’ flowers earlier and produces shorter, darker colored foliage.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a close up of typical flowers and foliage of ‘EARLY OFIR’. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Mini Colour Chart 2005 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘EARLY OFIR’ plants grown outdoors in Kfar Hess, Israel. The growing temperature ranged from 15° C. to 35° C. during the day and from −2° C. to 35° C. during the night. General light conditions are bright, normal sunlight. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
