Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant named ‘Bonpriho’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; medium green-colored leaves; inflorescences with white-colored flower bracts; and good post-production longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BONPRIHO’.
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 ‘Bonpriho’.
The new Euphorbia plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch identified as code number 127, not patented. The new Euphorbia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia in March, 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new Euphorbia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia since December, 2002 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 and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment conditions 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 ‘Bonpriho’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bonpriho’ as a new and distinct Euphorbia plant:
-
- 1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Medium green-colored leaves.
- 5. Inflorescences with white-colored flower bracts.
- 6. Good post-production longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia, plants of the new Euphorbia differed primarily from plants of the parent selection in flower bract color as plants of the parent selection had pink-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can be compared to plants of the Euphorbia pulcherrima×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Eckcory’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,849. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Euphorbia differed from plants of ‘Eckcory’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia had longer and narrower leaves than plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Euphorbia had more flower bracts than inflorescences of plants of ‘Eckcory’.
- 3. Plants of the new Euphorbia and ‘Eckcory’ differed in flower bract color as plants of ‘Eckcory’ had light red purple-colored flower bracts.
- 4. Inflorescences of plants of the new Euphorbia had more and larger cyathia than inflorescences of plants of ‘Eckcory’.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Euphorbia plant showing 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 plant.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bonpriho’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Bonpriho’.
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and herewith described in detail were grown in 13.5-cm containers during late autumn in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under environmental conditions and cultural practices which approximate those generally used in commercial 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.
