Abstract
A new plant was created as an interspecific hybrid of the genus Euphorbia. The plant was created by the rescue of an embryo resulting from the cross-pollination of a cultivated Poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, with a seedling of the uncultivated Euphorbia cornastra. The new interspecific hybrid plant was found have unique traits that differed from either parent. The plant exhibited colorful flower bracts indicating desirable characteristics for ornamental use. In addition to providing the interspecific hybrid plant and parts thereof, the invention provides methods for making the same as well methods for creating interspecific hybrid plants having altered growth characteristics and the plants created thereby.
