Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Dueouvert’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; early flowering habit; inflorescences with large red-colored flower bracts; and excellent post-production longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DUEOUVERT’.
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 ‘Dueouvert’.
The new Poinsettia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new early-flowering Poinsettia plants with attractive flower bract orientation and coloration.
The new Poinsettia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2008 in Rheinberg, Germany of a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. identified as code number E-05-0718, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. identified as code number F-03-19, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Poinsettia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany in December, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany since January, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Poinsettia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental 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 ‘Dueouvert’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dueouvert’ as a new and distinct Poinsettia plant:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Early flowering habit.
- 4. Inflorescences with large dark red-colored flower bracts.
- 5. Excellent post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Poinsettia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flowering habit as plants of the new Poinsettia flower earlier than plants of the female parent selection. In addition, plants of the new Poinsettia have larger flower bracts than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Poinsettia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flowering habit as plants of the new Poinsettia flower earlier than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ‘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 primarily from plants of ‘Fiscor’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were more vigorous than plants of ‘Fiscor’.
- 2. Plants of the new Poinsettia had longer internodes than plants of ‘Fiscor’.
- 3. Plants of the new Poinsettia had longer leaves than plants of ‘Fiscor’.
- 4. Plants of the new Poinsettia flowered earlier than plants of ‘Fiscor’.
- 5. Plants of the new Poinsettia had larger flower bracts than plants of ‘Fiscor’.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Poinsettia plant showing 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 plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Dueouvert’ grown in a container.
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the autumn in a glass-covered greenhouse in Rheinberg, Germany and under cultural practices typical of commercial production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 22° C. and light levels averaged 4,500 lux. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Single plants were grown in 12-cm containers and were pinched one time three weeks after planting. Plants were 16 weeks old when the photograph and the detailed 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.
