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: New plants were created from a new and efficient method of intergeneric hybridization between the genus Argyranthemum as a female parent and a plant from I. versicolor and Glebionis sp. as a male parent. The plants were created by rescuing an embryo from the cross-pollination of a tetraploid or aneu-tetraploid Argyranthemum female parent with a plant from the group I. versicolor and Glebionis sp. as a male parent. The new plants often exhibited the perennial and multi-branched habit of the female Argyranthemum parent, with large capitula size and different ray floret colors, many not previously seen in Argyranthemum. When compared to Argyranthemum, the new plants possessed improved tolerance to high growing temperatures. In addition to providing the intergeneric hybrid plants and parts thereof, the invention provides methods for making such plants and methods for creating intergeneric hybrid plants.

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.
