Dieffenbachia cv. Morlof

Abstract

The invention concerns a new and distinct variety of dieffenbachia cv. Morlof that can be economically produced for large-scale ornamentation and decoration and obtained by vegetative reproduction wherein the chief characteristics of the new variety are the size of the foliar arrangement, the spindle-shaped form of the leaves garnished with pale yellow-white variegations, the small size and large number of the vegetative shoots due to the non-inhibition of the axillaries, the growth density and the much higher production of small-size slips.

We claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinct variety of dieffenbachia substantially as herein shown and described, being particularly characterized in its spindle-shaped leaves, garnished with pale yellow-white variegations; in its displaying a large foliar framework; and in its numerous vegetative shoots due to the non-inhibition of the axillaries in quantities much greater than are usually found in the classic Tropic White variety, thereby resulting in a much greater growth density and in the production of small-size slips.
