Genus and species: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch.
Variety denomination: ‘NPCW10184’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of poinsettia plant, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘NPCW10184’. The new variety is the result of a 30 gray radiation induced mutation in the parent plant ‘Christmas Angel’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,020) in 2007. A single plant selection was subsequently chosen for further evaluation and asexual propagation.
‘NPCW10184’ was first propagated via vegetative cuttings and has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany for over six generations. ‘NPCW10184’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations via vegetative cuttings.
‘NPCW10184’ has not been sold or made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing date of this application.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany.
This new poinsettia plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows overall plant habit including blooms, and foliage of the plant; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photograph is of a whole plant about four-months-old and in full flower.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘NPCW10184’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Stuttgart, Germany. The plant history was taken on four month-old plants grown in 13 cm pots from August to December 2009 with a minimum pinch date of 32 weeks. The plants were grown in a greenhouse covered with glass. Color readings were taken under natural light in the greenhouse. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (5th edition 2007).
‘NPCW10184’ differs from the commercial variety ‘Christmas Angel’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,020) by having marbled bracts that range in color from RHS 1C to between RHS 51B and RHS 51C, more cyathia per inflorescence, and more stamens per cyathia, while ‘Christmas Angel’ has red bracts (RHS 46B), fewer cyanthia per inflorescence, and fewer stamens per cyathia.
‘NPCW10184’ differs from the commercial variety ‘Marblestar’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,685) by having a pink color of RHS 47D and dark green leaves, while ‘Marblestar’ has a pink color of RHS 51B and 51C and light green leaves.
