Origin of Poinsettia variety

Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch

The origin of a Poinsettia variety is not a measurable quantitative trait and does not serve as an operational indicator in professional agronomy and variety trials.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Poinsettia, where this is mentioned in the description.

In official breeding documentation and UPOV and CPVO protocols for Euphorbia pulcherrima, the origin of a variety is exclusively descriptive in nature. Information regarding breeding methods and parental lines is provided by the applicant as reference data, which is not subject to instrumental measurement during the process of evaluating distinctness, uniformity, and stability.

This parameter does not have a direct impact on the Poinsettia production cycle. In agronomy, the choice of variety is based on genetically fixed phenotypic characteristics, such as the photoperiodic response group, vigor, which determines the intensity of plant growth regulator application, and branching habit, which influences the bush shaping strategy.
