Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant named ‘Bonpr 611’, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; inflorescences with purplish pink-colored flower bracts with random very pale purple-colored spots, flecks and sectors; relatively small cyathia; and good post-production longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch X Euphorbia cornastra.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BONPR 611’.
A Japanese Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Assignee of the instant application, Bonza Botanicals Pty., Ltd. of Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia on Sep. 24, 2020, application number 34953. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The Inventor/Applicant and Assignee assert that no publications nor advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor/Applicant and/or the Assignee. Inventor/Applicant and Assignee claim a prior art exception under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant, an interspecific hybrid botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch X Euphorbia cornastra, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Bonpr 611’.
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 a proprietary selection of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch X Euphorbia cornastra identified as code number 415, not patented. The new Euphorbia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the mutation parent selection in a controlled greenhouse environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia in June, 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.
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 ‘Bonpr 611’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bonpr 611’ as a new and distinct Euphorbia plant:
-
- 1. Relatively compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Inflorescences with purplish pink-colored flower bracts with random very pale purple-colored spots, flecks and sectors.
- 5. Relatively small cyathia.
- 6. Good post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Euphorbia differ primarily from plants of the mutation parent selection in flower bract color as flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia are purplish pink in color with random very pale purple-colored spots, flecks and sectors whereas flower bracts of plants of the mutation parent selection are light pink in color.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can be compared to plants of the Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch X 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 are larger than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
- 2. Plants of the new Euphorbia have thicker lateral stems than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
- 3. Plants of the new Euphorbia have smaller leaves than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
- 4. Plants of the new Euphorbia have smaller flower bracts than plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’.
- 5. Plants of the new Euphorbia and ‘Bonprilipcom’ differ in flower bract color as flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia are purplish pink in color with random very pale purple-colored spots, flecks and sectors whereas flower bracts of plants of ‘Bonprilipcom’ are solid pink in color.
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 on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bonpr 611’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bonpr 611’.
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and described herewith in detail were grown during the autumn and early winter 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 six 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, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
