Poinsettia plant named Gutbier V-10

Abstract

A new cultivar of poinsettia plant distinguished by its shorter than average growth habit and its ability to bloom in 8 to 9 weeks at a night temperature in the range of 14° to 16° C. with a prolific production of medium red bracts which have a unique arched appearance. When grown as a branched or pinched plant, this cultivar produces more branches or shoots than any poinsettia heretofore known; and when grown as a single stem plant, it produces a great number of side shoots which greatly enhances its beauty. In general appearance, this new variety is unique and different in many respects from any poinsettia ever before produced.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinctive red poinsettia cultivar substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its short and rapid habit of growth, its easy self-branching, the unique arched shape and abundance of the bracts, its easy branching habit, and its early blooming habit at low temperatures.
