Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Fislemon’, as described and illustrated, and particularly characterized by the combined features of light yellow, uniform bract color; medium sized inflorescence with weakly lobed bracts; uniform dark-green, distinctly lobed foliage; medium sized plant habit, well-branched and relatively wide; and early flowering response.
Description
Euphorbia pulcherrima
Fislemon
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant known by the cultivar name ‘Fislemon’, and botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima.
‘Fislemon’ is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new Poinsettia cultivars with white or yellow flower color in combination with dark-green foliage and good cultivation ability.
‘Fislemon’ originated from a hybridization made by the inventor, Katharina Zerr, in Hillscheid, Germany, in 1996. The female parent was a propietary hybrid seedling, no. S90-602-1 (unpatented), characterized by salmon-pink bract color, medium green foliage, and medium sized, wide and bushy plant habit. The male parent was a hybrid seedling, no. S90-502-1 (unpatented), having red bract color, dark green foliage, and early flowering.
The seeds germinated in the spring of 1997, and the resulting seedlings were identified by numbers. In the summer of 1997, a cutting was taken from each seedling, rooted and grown out for examination as flowering single-stem plants. ‘Fislemon’ was discovered and selected as one flowering plant no. 6935 within the progeny of the stated cross/parentage by Katharina Zerr in the fall of 1997. After this plant had been chosen, more cuttings were taken from the original seedling and grafted on rootstocks of the variety ‘Beckmann's Altrosa’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,336), in order to transmit the branching causing agent, phytoplasma, into the clone to improve the branching causing characteristics. From the upper area of the successfully grafted plants,
The plants described were grown in a greenhouse in Hillscheid, Germany, in the fall of 1999. Rooted cuttings were planted into 14 cm pots on July 23, and were pinched 12 days after that, leaving 8 nodes. The minimum temperature was about 20° C. until the end of September, and about 17-18° C. thereafter. The plants initiated flowers under natural short-day conditions in fall.
Observations and measurements were mainly taken at the beginning of full flowering. In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). The color values were determined indoors in a north light.
