Bougainvillea Torch Glow

Abstract

A bougainvillea Torch Glow plant which is defined by a unique torch-like floral arrangement formed along the substantially upright branching of the shrub that is compact in its branching and has dense foliage with the flowers being borne in dense oppositely branched cymes, which are axillary and are borne in the axils of almost all leaves from near the apex of the branch to from ten to forty centimeters down the branch, giving the appearance of a cylindrical spike, and wherein the roots are much thicker and more succulent than typical for bougainvillea.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of bougainvillea plant, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particulary as to novelty by the unique torch-like floral arrangement formed along the substantially upright branching of the shrub that is compact in its branching and has dense foliage with the flowers being borne in dense oppositely branched cymes, which are axillary and are borne in the axils of almost all leaves from near the apex of the branch to ten to forty centimeters down the branch, giving the appearance of a cylindrical spike and including a highly succulent root system.
