Abstract
A new cultivar of Gasteraloe plant named ‘D Sigma’ that is characterized by a flattened rosette plant shape and green serrated leaves with white dots and white teeth.
Description
Botanical classification: Gasteraloe beguinii.
Variety denomination: ‘D Sigma’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gasteraloe plant botanically known as Gasteraloe beguinii and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘D Sigma’.
‘D Sigma’ was discovered as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation among a population of unnamed Gasteraloe beguinii cultivars. The cultivar ‘D Sigma’ was discovered by the inventor in 2012 in a controlled environment as a single plant in a cultivated area of Amposta, Tarragona, Spain. The parentage of ‘D Sigma’ is unknown.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘D Sigma’ first occurred by leaf cuttings in 2012 in Amposta, Tarragona, Spain. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Gasteraloe cultivar ‘D Sigma’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘D Sigma’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing varieties of Gasteraloe known by the inventor.
-
- 1. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits green leaves with large white dots.
- 2. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits leaf margins with white teeth.
- 3. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits a flattened rosette plant shape.
The closest comparison cultivars are Gasteraloe ‘Swello’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,012) and Gasteria ‘Royal Highness’ (not patented). ‘D Sigma’ is distinguishable from ‘Swello’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits a lighter green leaf color than the leaf color of ‘Swello’.
- 2. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits a dull leaf luster. In comparison, the leaves of ‘Swello’ are shiny.
- 3. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits a flattened open rosette shaped. In comparison, ‘Swello’ has a more upright closed rosette shape.
- 4. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits leaves having larger white dots that are fewer in number than the dots on the leaves of ‘Swello’.
- 5. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits larger teeth on the leaf margins than the teeth on the leaf margins of ‘Swello’.
‘D Sigma’ is distinguishable from ‘Royal Highness’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits a darker green leaf color than the leaf color of ‘Royal Highness’.
- 2. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits a flattened open rosette shape. In comparison, ‘Royal Highness’ has a more upright rosette shape.
- 3. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits leaves having larger white dots that are fewer in number than the dots on the leaves of ‘Royal Highness’. The dots on the leaves of ‘Royal Highness’ are arranged in stripes.
- 4. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits larger teeth on the leaf margins than the teeth on the leaf margins of ‘Royal Highness’.
‘D Sigma’ is distinguishable plants of the species Gasteraloe beguinii by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits leaves having larger white dots that are fewer in number than the dots on the leaves of plants of the species Gasteraloe beguinii.
- 2. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits leaves having white dots. In comparison, the dots of plants of the species Gasteraloe beguinii are duller white in color.
- 3. Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’ exhibits shorter leaves than the leaves of plants of the species Gasteraloe beguinii.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Gasteraloe ‘D Sigma’. The photograph shows an overall view of a 12 month old plant. 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.
The following is a detailed description of the new Gasteraloe cultivar named ‘D Sigma’. Data was collected in Amposta, Tarragona, Spain from 12 month old plants grown in a glass greenhouse in 5.5 cm. diameter containers. The time of year was Summer and the temperature range was 18-26 degrees Centigrade during the day and 11-21 degrees Centigrade at night. The light level was natural light level. No photoperiodic treatments or growth retardants were used. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2015 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘D Sigma’ 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.
