Abstract
Poinsettia `Pearl` is a new cultivar, distinguished by large white flower bracts, large leaves, strong thick stems and self-branching characteristics. `Pearl` is a tetraploid sport of `21-85` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,250) with the same flowering response and cultural requirements. The new plant produces a very desirable branched flowering pot plant. The new plant is resistant to epinasty after being confined to shipping containers. The post-production foliage and bract retention are good.
