Abstract
Poinsettia `490 PINK` is a new cultivar, distinguished by pink bracts and intense dark green foliage with self-branching characteristics. `490 PINK` is a color sport of the dark red bracted `490` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,825) with the same early 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 and recovers rapidly if the plant does become epinastic. The post-production foliage and bract retention is excellent even under low light intensities in the consumer's home.

What is claimed is: 1. A new and distinct Poinsettia cultivar, substantially as herein shown and described, distinguished by its intense dark green foliage, pink bracts and epinasty resistance.
