Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0036] The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Mandevilla ‘INMANREDSCAR’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of an 8 month old plant. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.

BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT

[0037] The following is a detailed description of the new Mandeville cultivar named ‘INMANREDSCAR’. Data was collected in Gensingen, Germany from 8 month old glass greenhouse grown plants in 16 cm. diameter containers. The time of year was Summer and the temperature range was 15-28 degrees Centigrade during the day and 8-20 degrees Centigrade at night. No growth retardants were used. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘INMANREDSCAR’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
