Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Christmas Snow'
Diagnosis:
C. 'Christmas Snow' differ from other known forms of the species
in the variegation of its leaves. The variegation i is of the "blotched"
variety, with irregular patches of cream varying from 3-5% of leaf surface.
Some minor variegation also occurs; these are pale greyish green patches
and are not strongly discernable.
Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Festival'
Small dense tree. Flowers: small, creamy white in terminal panicles. Sepals: white at first (Nov), ripening (mid Dec) to deep red on inside of sepal, and rose red on outside of sepal.
Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Magenta Star'
This cultivar is a shrub to 3.5m tall by 3m wide. The new
growth is a dark magenta-purple which gradually fades as the leaves age.
The undersides of the leaves are a darker colour than the upper surfaces,
and the leaf margins hold the colouration even when the leaf ages. The
midveins of the leaves are a prominent red when the leaves are young and
these change to a prominent greenish-yellow as the leaves age.
Diagnosis:
The purplish appearance of the new growth is the most
distinctive feature of this cultivar; in usual forms it is green.

Actinotus helianthi 'White Romance'
A tall thin selection with large flowers. Herbaceous shrub to 0.9m(h) x 0.3m(w) variable with pale grey hairy leaves and the daisylike flower heads are greenish and the petal like bracts are cream to white with greenish tips which are 30mm in diameter. . Flowering occurs in spring
Agonis flexuosa 'Belbra Gold'
This cultivar is a leaf colour form of Agonis flexuosa
(Spreng) Schau. It is a dense shrub that grows to ca. 5m tall by 5m wide.
As the leaves first appear they have a reddish tinge but this quickly
changes to a pale yellow forming a golden crown on the plant. As the leaves
mature there is once again a colour change, as they revert to green or a
pale yellow mottled with green. Shortly after this last change the mature
leaves are dropped from the plant. When viewed from a short distance the
plant is a distinct golden colour. The colour of the foliage can be
affected by the amount of light intensity. The golden colour is more
pronounced during summer months in full light. The other features of the
cultivar correspond with those of Agonis flexuosa.
Diagnosis:
A. 'Belbra Gold' is readily distinguished from the usual A.
flexuosa by its foliage colour and its ultimate height, the cultivar only
growing to 5m. It can be distinguished easily from A. flexuosa 'Variegata'
as the variegation is different. A. flexuosa 'Variegata' has leaves with
yellow margins and a green centre as compared to all yellow or yellow
mottled green of A. 'Belbra Gold'.
Comparators:
Agonis flexuosa 'Variegata' (ACRA Number 4) held at
the Herbarium, National Botanic Gardens, Canberra.
Agonis flexuosa 'Marks Mini'
A compact dwarf form of Agonis flexuosa and white flowers in Summer.
