Cynodon dactylon grass plant --C84-135

Abstract

We disclose that our herein invention of a new and distinct grass plant variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant that was discovered by us growing under cultivation on a small area on a bowling green surface at Nyngan, a small Town in the State of New South Wales, Australia. This new claimed grass variety that we have asexually repropagated produces an excellent turfgrass surface retaining green color and growth throughout the winter period in randomized replicated plots compared to the closest known variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant that went dormant losing complete green color and growth. This new claimed grass variety is an attractive dark olive green color, color number 126 D.OLG as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart and has stigmas of very dark purplish red color, color number 260 V.D.pr as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart with newly formed anthers before dehiscene of grayish red colork color number 19 GY.RED as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart. The internode spacings on the stolons are closer together with the stolon being thinner in width. The new claimed variety of grass plant is glabrous except for a few hairs tufted at the sides of the ligule and pubescent on the mature upper leaf surface.

Having now described the new and distinct variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant which we have discovered and asexually reproduced, We claim: 
     
       1. A new variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant substantially as described and illustrated a new variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant that was asexually repropagated by us herein shown and described by an olive green color as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart; this new variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant completely retained growth and green color throughout the winter period and produced an excellent turfgrass surface; the stigmas are of a very dark purplish red color as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart; the newly formed anthers are of grayish red color as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart. This new claimed variety of Cynodon dactylon grass plant is glabrous except for a few hairs tufted at the sides of the ligule and pubescent on the mature upper leaf surface with stolons thinner in width and the internode spacings closer together.
