  • the present discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of poinsettia plant (Euphorbia pulcherrz'ma) originating as a sport.
  • this new Variety of poinsettia plant is distinguishable from the parent plant, as we ll as from other known varieties, mainly by the' shape, color and subcoriaceous character of bracts and foliage leaves, and the tenacity of holding the foliage on the peduncle. More speciiically, it is also distinguishable from other known varieties by the arrangement of the individual character of the bracts which are relatively long, wide and few in number and a majority of which are mounted on comparatively long petioles, so that the bract involucre is open at. its center around the inflorescence.
  • the peduncles which branch from the main trunk are scheeles green and are long, stiff, and very strong. They are comparatively small in cross-section. Their average length is four feet, with several small pedicels at the top usually growing as knob-like spurs each of which bears a few sub-acaulescent flowers. From the knoblike spurs also grows an involucre of bracts.
  • e Pericles Extending outwardly from around each of the peduncles is a plurality of foliage leaves the petioles of which are attached to and arranged helically around the peduncle, their color being cherry.
  • the bracts in planar contour are elongated and a portion of them are ovate-acuminate while another portion are ovate and modified pinnatid, though not as prominently or deeply pinnatiiid as the foliage leaves.
  • the bracts are definitely subcoriaceous.
  • the bracts and their petioles are of cardinal red color, and maintain a uniformity of color in a wider differential range of temperatures than known varieties of poinsettia.
  • the bracts are further characterized by a numerically less number of individual bracts than known varieties of poinsettia, such as my Plant Patents Nos. 242, 336 and 343, but the predominating majority of individual bracts are of greater axial length and greater transverse width and greater individual planar area, than known varieties. Further, the petioles of the predominating majority of individual bracts are uncommon- 1y elongated, which, together with the axial length of the bracts, extends the bracts radially so that the mean diameter of the involucre is greater than the linear distance between apices of relatively oppositely disposed foliage leaves adjacently therebelow. The phenomena thus present provides an involucre of bracts openly spaced at the center around the inorescence, and the contour of the separate bracts is individually emphasized.
  • a node is for-med on the upper end of each peduncle, each of which usually presents three short and comparatively large heavy stem-like knobs or spurs, which protrude upward and expansively apart, each knob or spur providing the base for a plurality of short subacaulescent stems, and each stem terminating in a flower the perianthial calyx of which, prior to maturity is substantially White, and which at maturity is of a scheeles green color.
  • Each of the flowers usually develops three ovules in a nectar cup of chrome yellow at substantially the center of which is a pistil of cardinal red color, substantially similar to the color of the bracts.
  • the total height of theplant at maturity, including main trunk and peduncles, is approximately eight feet, and the greatest lateral dimension is approximately ve feet.
  • Propagation Propagation is by cuttings planted at any time from May until September, and the plant will mature to optimum from November to December, retaining bracts and foliage for substantially two months, after which the plant will remain dormant for about three months.
  • a new and distinct variety of poinsettia plant substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by cardinal red subcoriaceous bracts which are ovate-acurninate, the bracts having petioles suiiiciently long to provide an open spaced center of the bract involucre and whereby the contours of the bracts are individually inv planar profile around the inflorescence, the foliage leaves being also subcoriaceous and deeply pinnatifid and tenaciously ⁇ adhering to the peduncle, the several foliage leaves most nearly ad jacent the bracts being variegated with shades of rose to green.
