Callissia plant

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of the Callissia family characterized by the pink coloration of leaves and stems. The leaves on each plant are either solid pink in color or variegated with alternating pink and green regions, or both. Upon first seeing the plant, one is given the impression that its stem is covered with small pink flowers. The plant is particularly striking when contrasted with the normal green color of Callissia repens.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Callissia plant substantially as described and illustrated, characterized particularly as to novelty by its solid pink leaves, variegated leaves and pink stems.
