Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Poinsettia plant named `Duemalwi`, characterized by its light yellow flower bracts; flower bracts held horizontal to stem axis; very dark green foliage; freely branching plant habit; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Poinsettia plant, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd., and hereinafter referred to by the name `Duemalwi`.
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 colors; and have excellent postproduction longevity.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the proprietary Poinsettia selection identified as code number F1 as the male or pollen parent with a proprietary Poinsettia selection identified as code number M101 as the female or seed parent. `Duemalwi` 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 `Duemalwi`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Duemalwi` as a new and distinct variety:
1. Light yellow flower bracts.
2. Flower bracts held horizontal to stem axis.
3. Very dark green foliage.
4. Freely branching plant habit.
5. Good postproduction longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia are less vigorous than the red-bract plants of the male parent, selection number F1. Compared to plants of the red-bract female parent, selection M101, the new Poinsettia is taller and has darker green leaves.
The new Poinsettia can be compared to the cultivar `490 White` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,772). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia have a whiter bract color, are more compact and are more freely branching.
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 `Duemalwi` that was pinched and grown in a 15-cm container. Bract and leaf colors in the photograph may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
Plants of `Duemalwi` 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.

Time to flower.--About 9 weeks under long nyctoperiod conditions.
Quantity of inflorescences.--One per lateral branch, usually about six per plant.
Inflorescence size.--Diameter: About 20 cm. Height (depth): About 2 cm.
Flower bracts.--Orientation: Mostly horizontal. Quantity of flower bracts per inflorescence: About 21 per inflorescence. Length: About 8.5 cm. Width: About 4.8 cm. Shape: Mostly ovate, occasionally lobed. Apex: Apiculate. Margin: Entire. Base: Obtuse. Texture: Smooth, satiny. Color: Mature, upper surface: 4B, 4C, 4D. Mature, lower surface: 4B.
