Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant named ‘Bonpridepcom’, characterized by its compact and mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; strong stems that resist breakage; dark green-colored leaves; inflorescences with dark red purple-colored flower bracts; good post-production longevity; and relative tolerance to low production temperatures.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Bonpridepcom’.
Cross-referenced to related applications: Filed: U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/387,559 Filed: U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/387,561.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant, an interspecific hybrid botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bonpridepcom’.
The new Euphorbia plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Bonpripicom’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/387,562. The new Euphorbia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant from within a population of plants of ‘Bonpripicom’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia in January, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Euphorbia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia since February, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Euphorbia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Euphorbia 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 traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Bonpridepcom’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bonpridepcom’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia:
-
- 1. Compact and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Strong stems that resist breakage.
- 5. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 6. Inflorescences with dark red purple-colored flower bracts.
- 7. Good post-production longevity.
- 8. Relatively tolerant to low production temperatures.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Euphorbia differed from plants of the parent, ‘Bonpripicom’, primarily in flower bract color as plants of ‘Bonpripicom’ have darker-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can be compared to plants of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Bonprilipcom’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/387,559. Plants of the new Euphorbia differ from plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’ primarily in flower bract color as plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’ have pink-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can be compared to plants of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Bonpripapcom’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/387,561. Plants of the new Euphorbia differ from plants of ‘Bonpripapcom’ primarily in flower bract color as plants of ‘Bonpripapcom’ have light pink-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can also be compared to plants of the Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Eckcory’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,849. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Euphorbia differed from plants of ‘Eckcory’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia were more compact and had shorter internodes than plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 2. Plants of the new Euphorbia had broader leaves than plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Euphorbia had more flower bracts than inflorescences of plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 4. Inflorescences of plants of the new Euphorbia had longer and broader flower bracts than inflorescences of plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 5. Inflorescences of plants of the new Euphorbia had darker-colored flower bracts than inflorescences of plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 6. Inflorescences of plants of the new Euphorbia had more cyathia than inflorescences of plants of ‘Eckcory’.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Euphorbia plant. These photographs show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Euphorbia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bonpridepcom’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Bonpridepcom’.
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and the following observations and measurements describe plants grown in containers in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan during the autumn in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Euphorbia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 23° C. and night temperatures averaged 13° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were four months old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fourth Edition, 2001, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
