Impatiens plant Shawnee

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant known by the cultivar name Shawnee, and discovered by me in commercial greenhouses in Fremont, Calif. If pressed to compare to a known variety, Shawnee has a foliage that is closest in comparison to U.S. Department of Agriculture Arabesque; but the comparison is slight. Shawnee is unlike other varieties because of its distinctively wide variegation (dark green outer rim with prominent red veins in an off-gold center), its upright growth habit, good breaking action, fairly compact, and a medium-sized pink flower.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct form of Impatiens plant as described and illustrated, known by the cultivar name Shawnee, and particularly characterized by its distinctively wide variegation (dark green outer rim with prominent red veins in an off-gold center); its upright growth habit; good breaking action; fairly compact; and a medium pink flower.
