Abstract
The new Poinsettia ‘Fisolymp’ is described as having uniform, deep red bract color; medium sized inflorescence, ovate bracts and relatively many cyathia; uniform dark-green foliage, ovate leaves almost without lobes; medium sized, rounded plant habit; and early to medium flowering response.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Variety denomination: Fisolymp.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of poinsettia plant known by the vareity denomination ‘Fisolymp’, and botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima.
‘Fisolymp’ was discovered by the inventor, Katharina Zerr, from an induced mutation in the variety ‘Fismille’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,660). ‘Fismille’ is characterized by large, bright red colored bracts, dark-green foliage almost without lobes, upright and moderately tall plant habit, and very early flowering time.
Irradiation of young plants of ‘Fismille’ was conducted in Ahrensburg, Germany, in May 1998. The treated plants were grown out in Hillscheid, Germany, and were propagated by cuttings. The flowering plants derived thereof were screened for positive mutations by Katharina Zerr, the inventor/breeder throughout 1999.
One plant, designated no. 373-1, was chos n b cause of its darker red bract color. Three months later the plant was multiplied by vegetative cuttings and the resulting plants were examined in the fall of 2000, and again in the fall of 2001. They proved to be uniform and stable.
Horticultural examination of the plants starting in 2001 and continuing thereafter has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Fisolymp’ are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Fisolymp’, which in combination distinguish this Poinsettia as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Uniform, deep red bract color;
2. Medium sized inflorescence, ovate bracts and relatively many cyathia;
3. Uniform dark-green foliage, ovate leaves almost without lobes;
4. Medium sized, rounded plant habit; and
5. Early to medium flowering response.
‘Fisolymp’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day-length. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Fisolymp’ is the parental cultivar ‘Fismille’. In comparison to ‘Fismille’, ‘Fisolymp’ has smaller inflorescences with shorter bracts of somewhat deeper red bract color. Furthermore, plant habit is somewhat more rounded, slightly shorter and wider, less upright, and flowering response is not quite as early. The primary advantage of ‘Fisolymp’ is that it can be grown under the same culture regime as many other varieties, while the variety ‘Fismille’ is flowers earlier and may require extra treatment with growth regulator in order to avoid very large, overhanging bracts.
The accompanying color photographic drawing shows typical inflorescence and foliage of ‘Fisolymp’, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type. The photograph shows a mature potted plant.
The plants described were grown in a greenhouse in Hillscheid, Germany, in the fall of 2002. Rooted cuttings were planted into 14 cm pots on Jul. 25, 2002 and were pinched on August 8, leaving 7-8 leaves. Initially, the temperature was between a minimum of 19° C. and 24.5° C. maximum (ventilation temperature), and lower beginning October 1, minimum 16° C. to 23° C. The plants initiated flowers und r short-day conditions under natural short-day conditions in fall, no black cloth was applied.
Observations and measurements were mainly taken in mid December, when the plants were in full flower and about 20 weeks old. 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.
