ABSTRACT:

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Euphorbia pulcherrima.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
Fisson Jinglet
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of poinsettia plant known by the cultivar name ‘Fisson Jinglit’, and botanically known as
Euphorbia pulcherrima.
‘Fisson Jinglit’ originated from a naturally occurring mutation in the variety ‘Fisson Jingle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. PP 12,540), which was discovered by the inventor, Katharina Zerr, in a greenhouse in Hillscheid, Germany, among a group of flowering pot plants in the fall of 1997.
Shoot tip cuttings were taken from the mutated part of the plant in the spring of 1998. The plants grown from these cuttings were examined and selected for uniformity in the fall of 1998. The remaining plants were multiplied once more and the plants grown thereof proved to be uniform in an examination in late summer to fall 1999.
Horticultural examination of ‘Fisson Jinglit’ starting in 1999 and continuing thereafter has demonstrated/confirmed that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Fisson Jinglit’ are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true to type.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Fisson Jinglit’ which in combination distinguish this Poinsettia as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. bright-red colored bracts with numerous, small white spots;
2. medium sized inflorescence with distinctly pointed bracts;
3. uniform, dark-green foliage with relatively strong pointed lobes;
4. relatively compact, bushy and round plant habit; and
5. medium flower response.
‘Fisson Jinglit’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
Of the may commercial cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Fisson Jinglit’ is the patented cultivar ‘Fisson’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,365), and the parental cultivar ‘Fisson Jingle’, (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/099,775).
In comparison to the uniform red colored variety ‘Fisson’, ‘Fisson Jinglit’ has a variegated bract color, there are numerous white spots spread over the surface. Furthermore, ‘Fisson Jinglit’ has a more compact plant habit, and its plants are smaller by about 20%.
In comparison to ‘Fisson Jingle’, ‘Fisson Jinglit’ has a similar red main bract color and a similar type of variegation, however with white spots instead of pink ones. The variegation, however, is more uniform with respect to the size of the spots and there is less tendency to developing deviations from the usual pattern. Additionally, plants of ‘Fisson Jinglit’ are slightly smaller than those of ‘Fisson Jingle’.
