No cultivar name of record

This patent does not name the plant, which is unusual for its date — by the mid-1990s nearly every plant patent carried a cultivar name. The grant identifies this one by its number and by a written description instead.

Nothing here is missing from our records: the patent itself states no name. Where one exists we show it, and we do not invent one.

The new variety propagates successfully by stem cuttings and has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.
