Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Poinsettia plant named `Duedeluxe`, characterized by its red flower bracts; flat flower bracts horizontal or angled slightly upright with respect to stem axis; very dark green foliage; freely branching plant habit; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd., and hereinafter referred to by the name `Duedeluxe`. The new Poinsettia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Poinsettias that are freely branching; flower early; have desirable flower bract and leaf color; and have excellent postproduction longevity. The new Poinsettia originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the proprietary Poinsettia selection identified as code number E-2 as the male or pollen parent with a proprietary Poinsettia selection identified as code number M-128 as the female or seed parent. `Duedeluxe` was discovered and selected in 1995 by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany. Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia by terminal cuttings taken at Rheinberg, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Duedeluxe`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Duedeluxe` as a new and distinct variety:
1. Red flower bracts.
2. Flat flower bracts horizontal or angled slightly upright with respect to stem axis.
3. Very dark green foliage.
4. Freely branching plant habit.
5. Excellent postproduction longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia are more freely branching, and have smaller and more intense red bracts than plants of the male parent, selection number E-2. Compared to plants of the female parent, selection M-128, plants of the new Poinsettia have darker green, more deeply lobed foliage and more intense and brighter red bract color.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the Poinsettia cultivar `Duewi` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. application Ser. No. 09/105,363). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia flower slightly earlier, bracts are more upright, and leaves tend to be more deeply lobed than bracts and leaves of plants of the cultivar `Duewi`.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the Poinsettia cultivar `490` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,825). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, bracts of plants of the new Poinsettia are brighter red in color, smaller, and are held more upright than bracts of plants of the cultivar `490`. In addition, leaves of plants of the new Poinsettia are more deeply lobed than leaves of plants of the cultivar `490`.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Poinsettia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in a colored reproduction of this type. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of `Duedeluxe` that was pinched and grown in a 15-cm container. Bract and leaf colors in the photograph may appear lighter than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
Plants of the new Poinsettia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Rheinberg, Germany, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 22° C., night temperatures about 18° C. and light levels about 30,000 to 40,000 lux. Plants were grown in 15-cm pots, pinched one time, and flowered under long nyctoperiods. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
