Abstract: The present invention relates to Euphorbia interspecific hybrid plants and methods for making the same. In particular, the invention relates to developing diploid, triploid and tetraploid interspecific hybrid plants derived from crosses between Euphorbia pulcherrima and F1 hybrids of Euphorbia pulcherrima×Euphorbia cornastra. In addition to providing the diploid, triploid and tetraploid interspecific hybrid plants and plant parts, the invention provides methods for making triploid interspecific hybrid plants with non-functional small cyathia and methods for making tetraploid interspecific hybrid plants with non-functional small cyathia and red bracts.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant named ‘Bonpri 1095’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; inflorescences with large intense red purple-colored flower bracts with lighter red purple-colored margins; inflorescences with small and sterile cyathia; and good post-production longevity.

Abstract: New plants were created from a new and efficient method of intergeneric hybridization between a plant from the group I. versicolor and Glebionis sp. as a female parent and a plant from the genus Argyranthemum as a male parent. The plants were created by rescuing an embryo from the cross-pollination of a plant from the group I. versicolor and Glebionis sp. as a female parent with an Argyranthemum male parent. The invention also describes a method for infecting hybrid plants with a virus and a viroid to modify plant phenotype. In addition to providing the intergeneric hybrid plants and parts thereof, the invention provides methods for making such plants and methods for creating other intergeneric hybrid plants and self plants from normally self-incompatible plants.
