Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Duepowhiwon’, characterized by its upright to slightly outwardly spreading and uniformly mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; strong lateral branches; relatively early flowering habit; inflorescences with large pale yellow-colored flower bracts; and excellent post-production longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DUEPOWHIWON’.
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 ‘Duepowhiwon’.
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 moderately vigorous Poinsettia plants with strong lateral branches, upright plant habit and attractive flower bract coloration.
The new Poinsettia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2013 in Rheinberg, Germany of a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. identified as code number EE04-000817-001, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. identified as code number EE09-002443-001, 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, 2017.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany since January, 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Poinsettia 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 ‘Duepowhiwon’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Duepowhiwon’ as a new and distinct Poinsettia plant:
    • 1. Upright to slightly outwardly spreading and uniformly mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Strong lateral branches.
    • 4. Relatively early flowering habit.
    • 5. Inflorescences with large pale yellow-colored flower bracts.
    • 6. Excellent post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Poinsettia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower bract color as plants of the new Poinsettia have pale yellow-colored flower bracts and plants of the female parent selection have red-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Poinsettia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in leaf color as plants of the new Poinsettia have darker green-colored leaves than plants of the male parent selection. In addition, the lower surface of the flower bracts of plants of the new Poinsettia are slightly more rugose than the lower surface of the flower bracts of plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ‘Dueinfinitywi’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,995. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Poinsettia differ primarily from plants of ‘Dueinfinitywi’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Poinsettia are more upright than and not as outwardly spreading as plants of ‘Dueinfinitywi’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Poinsettia have longer leaves than plants of ‘Dueinfinitywi’.
    • 3. Flower bracts of plants of the new Poinsettia are longer and broader than flower bracts of plants of ‘Dueinfinitywi’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
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 ‘Duepowhiwon’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Rheinberg, Germany during the summer and autumn in a glass-covered greenhouse and under cultural practices typical of commercial Poinsettia production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels averaged 4,500 lux. Single plants were grown in 13-cm containers and were pinched one time about three weeks after planting the cuttings. Plants were 23 weeks old when the photograph and the detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fifth Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
