Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Dueavant’, characterized by its inflorescences with dark pink and pale yellow bi-colored flower bracts; variegated leaves; uniform and rounded plant habit; freely branching habit; early flowering habit; and excellent post-production longevity.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar denomination: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. cultivar Dueavant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 ‘Dueavant’.
The new Poinsettia is a product of a mutation induction program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the program is to create new Poinsettia cultivars with uniform plant habit and attractive flower bract coloration.
The new Poinsettia originated by exposing unrooted cuttings of a proprietary Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. selection identified as code number E-5-02-18, not patented, to gamma radiation in Rheinberg, Germany. The new Poinsettia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within a population of irradiated plants in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany in December, 2000. The selection of this plant was based on its attractive flower bract coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia by vegetative terminal cuttings taken at Rheinberg, Germany since March, 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Dueavant’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dueavant’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Inflorescences with dark pink and pale yellow bi-colored flower bracts.
2. Variegated leaves.
3. Uniform and rounded plant habit.
4. Freely branching habit.
5. Early flowering habit; response time, about eight weeks.
6. Excellent post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Poinsettia differ from plants of the parent, the selection E-5-02-18, in leaf and flower bract color as plants of the selection E-5-02- 18 had solid green-colored leaves and flower bracts.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Marblestar, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,685. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar Marblestar in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Marblestar.
2. Plants of the new Poinsettia had variegated leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Marblestar had solid green-colored leaves.
3. Plants of the new Poinsettia flowered about one week earlier than plants of the cultivar Marblestar.
4. Plants of the new Poinsettia had smaller flower bracts, but more flower bracts per inflorescence than plants of the cultivar Marblestar.
5. Plants of the new Poinsettia and the cultivar Marblestar differed slightly in flower bract coloration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
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 colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Poinsettia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a single flowering plant of ‘Dueavant’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Poinsettia has 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 aforementioned photograph, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown in Rheinberg, Germany during the winter under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day and night temperatures about 22° C. and light levels about 4,500 lux. Single plants were grown in 13-cm containers and pinched once about five weeks after planting. Plants were flowered under natural season short day/long night conditions. Plants were about 16 weeks from unrooted cuttings when the photograph and the detailed botanical description were taken.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
