Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Duescandic’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; early flowering habit; inflorescences with dark red-colored flower bracts; and excellent post-production longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DUESCANDIC’.
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 ‘Duescandic’.
The new Poinsettia a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely branching Poinsettia cultivars with attractive floral bract coloration and excellent post-production longevity.
The new Poinsettia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in October, 2000 of a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. identified as code number 96-2358-004, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent, with a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. identified as code number 95-0458-008, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Duescandic was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany in December, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany since December, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Duescandic 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 following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Duescandic’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Duescandic’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia:
    • 1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Early flowering habit.
    • 4. Inflorescences with dark red-colored flower bracts.
    • 5. Relatively large cyathia.
    • 6. Excellent post-production longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia differed primarily from plants of the female parent selection of in flower bract coloration as plants of the new Poinsettia had deeper red-colored flower bracts.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were more compact than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Poinsettia had made cyathia per inflorescence than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the Poinsettia cultivar Fiscor, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,364. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar Fiscor in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were broader than plants of the cultivar Fiscor.
    • 2. Plants of the new Poinsettia had longer internodes than plants of the cultivar Fiscor.
    • 3. Plants of the new Poinsettia had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Fiscor.
    • 4. Plants of the new Poinsettia had darker red-colored flower bracts than plants of the cultivar Fiscor.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Poinsettia. The photograph shows the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may 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 typical flowering plant of ‘Duescandic’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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. The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Rheinberg, Germany during the winter in a glass-covered greenhouse and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Poinsettia production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 22° C. and light levels were about 4,5000 lux. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Single plants were in 13-cm containers and pinched one time. Plants were about 16 weeks old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken.
