Ficus benjamina `Citation`

Abstract

A sport of Ficus benjamina Exotica, presenting tightly or deeply curled foliage which in cross-section is V-shaped in contrast to the usual flat leaves of the known Ficus benjamina, the overall appearance of a bush of my new variety showing a general aspect of rather tightly curled appearance and thus denser whether as bush, shrub, pillar or standard tree form.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Ficus benjamina plant substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the tightly curled form of its leaves, which are deeply V-shaped in cross-section, presenting a dense overall plant appearance as bush, shrub, pillar and standard tree form, the other characteristics of my new variety being essentially the same as those of F. benjamina.
