Impatiens plant

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant known by the cultivar name Pawnee, and discovered by me in commercial greenhouses in Fremont, Calif. Pawnee is closest in characteristics to patented plant Azetc (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,193; a dark yet bright red flower with a white eye) except for color. Its best description would be to call it an orange flowering Aztec with distinctive yellow-green leaf variegation. The outstanding characteristics of Pawnee are its many orange flowers, its distinct yellow-green variegation, its spreading growth habit, and its excellent breaking action, making a good basket plant.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct form of Impatiens plant as described and illustrated, known by the cultivar name Pawnee, and particularly characterized by many orange flowers, a distinctive yellow-green variegated foliage, a spreading growth habit, excellent breaking action, and a slightly cupped flower.
