Claims
What is claimed is:
1. A new and distinct variety of Impatiens plant named `IMGZ0022`
substantially as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Impatiens
interspecific.
Varietal denomination: `IMGZ0022`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new Impatiens, botanically known
as Impatiens interspecific, and hereinafter referred to by the
variety name `IMGZ0022`.
`IMGZ0022` is a product of a planned breeding program. The new
cultivar has large, flat, white flowers. The foliage is deep dark
green with light green veins on the upper and lower side of the
leaf. The plant is medium sized and well branched.
`IMGZ0022` originated from a hybridization made in March 2017 in a
controlled breeding environment in San Jose Pinula, Guatemala.
The female parent is designated as `W5516-2` with white flower
color. The male parent is designated as `W5590-5` and is large
sized and has white flower pattern.
The resultant seed was sown in November 2017 in a greenhouse in
Gilroy, Calif. USA and `IMGZ0022` was selected there as one
flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in spring
2017.
The first act of asexual reproduction of `IMGZ0022` was
accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the
initial selection in February 2018 in a controlled environment in
Gilroy, USA.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the
plant initiated in April 2018 in Gilroy, Calif. USA, has
demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein
disclosed for `IMGZ0022` are firmly fixed and are retained through
successive generations of asexual reproduction.
`IMGZ0022` has been observed under different environmental
conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in
environment such as temperature and light intensity.
A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar was applied for in Canada
on Aug. 4, 2021, No. 21-10688. `IMGZ0022` has not been made
publicly available prior to the effective filing date of this
application, notwithstanding any disclosure that may have been made
less than one year prior to the effective filing date of this
application by the inventor or another who obtained `IMGZ0022`
directly from the inventor.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are
determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The
combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Impatiens
as a new and distinct variety.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and
foliage characteristics of `IMGZ0022` with colors being as true as
possible with an illustration of this type.
The photographic drawings show in FIG. 1 a close-up of the flowers
and in FIG. 2 a flowering plant of the new variety growing in 14 cm
pot.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs were taken in March 2021 from plants
grown in a greenhouse trial in Gilroy, Calif. USA. These plants
were growing in 10 cm pots and were approximately 16 weeks of
age.
The plant descriptions and measurements were taken in May 2021, on
16 week old plants growing in a greenhouse in Gilroy, Calif. USA.
Cuttings were stuck in week 2 for rooting, planted into 10 cm pots
in week 6, and were grown, without pinching, on benches in a
greenhouse, initially at a day temperature of 18.degree. C. and
night temperature of 16.degree. C. However, day temperatures often
raised above 20.degree. C.
