Raphiolepis indica cv. Monrey

Abstract

A new and distinct selection of Raphiolepis indica (L.) Lindl. Shrub (popularly known as Indian Hawthorn) which hereinafter will be referred to as Raphiolepis indica cultivar Monrey. Raphiolepis indica cv. Monrey differs from its parent, Raphiolepis indica cv. Enchantress, by my new selection having flowers with fewer petals which are a richer, darker pink color and a larger and looser inflorescence. Another characteristic of Raphiolepis indica cultivar Monrey is its more open overall growth habit.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct selection of Raphiolepis indica referred to as Raphiolepis indica cv. Monrey as substantially shown and described herein, which is characterized by a loose open habit; a larger, looser and broader inflorescence; single flowers; and rich dark pink flowers.
