Cortaderia `Monvin`

Abstract

A new and distinct selection of Cortaderia selloana (popularly known as pampas grass) and referred to as Cortaderia selloana `Monvin`. A selection with important characteristics of a green and yellow variegation pattern throughout its leaves and possessing a more dwarf overall height and slower growth than the unselected Cortaderia selloana. Another distinguishing character of Cortaderia selloana `Monvin` are the strictly female inflorescences which are more showy than the male inflorescences that could be found on seedlings.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct Cortaderia selloana as substantially shown and described herein, that is a superior selection characterized by a unique leaf variegation pattern, a more dwarf-like plant and a female clone which can be relied upon to produce a more showy plume-like inflorescence.
