Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: originated as
a bud-sport on Bougainvillea ‘Singapore Pink’ at
applicant’s property during 1989. The sport was
characterised by leaves with mottled variegation whereas
the parental variety lacks such variegation. The mutated
shoot was isolated and propagated vegetatively through six
generations to confirm the uniformity and stability of the
selection. Selection criteria: small compact growth habit,
and variegated foliage. Propagation: by cuttings. Breeder:

Choice of Comparators Grouping characteristics used in
identifying the most similar varieties of common
knowledge were – Leaf shape, glossiness, variegation, type
of variegation, bract colour and plant growth habit. On the
basis of these grouping characteristics ‘Singapore Pink’,
‘Bilas’ and ‘Singapore White’ were selected as
comparators. ‘Singapore Pink’, is also the original parental
variety.
Comparative Trial Location: Moggill, QLD Dec 2000-
May 2002. Conditions: plants raised in soilless potting
media in 200mm pots, fertilised with slow release
Osmocote ® added at 5g/litre, grown under greenhouse film.
Normal cultural practices except pruning carried out during
the trial. Trial design: 5 plants of each variety randomly
placed. Measurements: taken from all plants.
Prior Applications and Sales Nil.
