Anthurium plant `Georgusis White Number 1`

#This invention relates to a new and distinct Anthurium cultivar which is outstanding because of its contrasting stark white flower and dark green leaves, and primarily selected for those characteristics being so selected from a planting of Anthurium being grown near Hollywood, Fla. in a cultivated area.

#Asexual reproduction of this cultivar by tissue culture was directed by me, such reproduction establishing that the plant does in fact maintain the characteristics described, in successive generations.

#The cultivar may further be described as having a number of distinctive characteristics which are enumerated in the succeeding specific description but broadly stated as comprising a compact freely branching and flowering hybrid wherein the abrupt contrast between dark green foliage and numerous white flowers makes this cultivar suitable for commercial distribution as a flowering pot plant.

#The foregoing is shown specifically in FIG. 1 which discloses the plant.

#A flower alone in enlarged form with the dark green leaves in the background is shown in FIG. 2.

#I have chosen to identify this new cultivar as Anthurium Georgusis White #1.

#It is possible that other identification will be adopted in the trade, but the name selected will serve for the purposes hereof.

#It should be noted that the plant was initially selected where grown in or near Hollywood, Fla. and has since been reproduced by plant tissue cultivar in the vicinity of Altha, Fla. with the characteristics stated, found to be maintained through successive generations as before recited.
