Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant named ‘Bonpri 585’, characterized by its compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; inflorescences with light pink-colored flower bracts; and good post-production longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BONPRI 585’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 cultivar name ‘Bonpri 585’.
The new Euphorbia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia. The objective of the program is to create and develop new interspecific Euphorbia plants with compact, upright and mounded plant habit and attractive flower bracts.
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 Pat. No. 21,325. The new Euphorbia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of ‘Bonpripicom’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia on Jun. 13, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Euphorbia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia since June, 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Euphorbia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Euphorbia have not been observed under all possible combinations of 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 ‘Bonpri 585’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bonpri 585’ as a new and distinct Euphorbia plant:
    • 1. Compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 5. Freely flowering habit.
    • 6. Inflorescences with light pink-colored flower bracts.
    • 7. Good post-production longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia, plants of the new Euphorbia differ primarily from plants of the mutation parent, ‘Bonpripicom’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia have a more uniform plant habit than plants of ‘Bonpripicom’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Euphorbia and ‘Bonpripicom’ differ in flower bract color as plants of ‘Bonpripicom’ have red purple-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can be compared to plants of the Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Bonprilipcom’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,327. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Euphorbia differ primarily from plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia have a more uniform plant habit than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Euphorbia are more freely branching than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Euphorbia have smaller and darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Euphorbia produce more freely flowering than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
    • 5. Plants of the new Euphorbia had larger inflorescences with larger flower bracts than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
    • 6. Plants of the new Euphorbia and ‘Bonprilipcom’ differ in flower bract color as plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’ have slightly lighter pink-colored flower bracts.
    • 7. Flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia are more serrate than flower bracts of plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 ‘Bonpri 585’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Bonpri 585’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and described herewith in detail were grown during the autumn in 12-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under cultural practices typical of commercial Euphorbia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 23° C. and night temperatures averaged 13° C. 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, 2007, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
