floral tube green, size of floral tube medium, shape of floral<br />

tube slightly swollen, emergence of stamens present. (Note:<br />

all RHS colour chart numbers refer to 2001 edition.)<br />

Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: originated as<br />

a bud-sport on Bougainvillea ‘Panda’ at applicant’s<br />

property. The sport was characterised by variegated glossy<br />

leaves and a higher number of flowers, whereas the parental<br />

variety produces fewer flowers and has different<br />

variegation. The mutated shoot was isolated and propagated<br />

vegetatively through several generations to confirm the<br />

uniformity and stability of the selection. Selection criteria:<br />

glossy variegated foliage and flower number. Propagation:<br />

by cuttings. Breeder: Jan Iredell, Moggill, QLD.<br />

Choice of Comparators Grouping characteristics used in<br />

identifying the most similar varieties of common<br />

knowledge were – leaf shape and glossiness, presence of<br />

variegation and bract colour. On the basis of these grouping<br />

characteristics ‘Panda’, ‘Nonya’ A and ‘White Cascade’<br />

were selected as comparators. ‘Panda’ is also the original<br />

parental variety.<br />

Comparative Trial Location: 50 Sugars Rd Moggill, QLD.<br />

Apr 2001-May 2002. Conditions: plants raised in soilless<br />

potting media in 200mm pots, fertilised with slow release<br />

Osmocote® added at 5g/litre, grown under greenhouse film.<br />

Normal cultural practices except pruning carried out during<br />

the trial. Trial design: 3 plants of each arranged randomly.<br />

Measurements: taken from all plants.<br />
