Leaves, dark green on upper surface, but silver-grey on underside due to a covering of dense silky hairs. Each leaf is about 1.5 - 3cm long and between 2 - 5mm wide and pungent. Leaf edges are rolled under. Flowers, pale pink with deeper pink styles, generally produced on underside of arching branches in hanging clusters. Buds very densely covered with grey hairs, but as flower matures its appearance becomes less hairy. Individual flowers, pale pink grading to green towards the limb, are about 8 - 10mm long, style bright pink, about 1.8cm long. The flower is said to be sterile.

Individual lobes which end in a small point are about 4mm wide. The upper surface has fine grey hairs which give a silvery sheen, while the underside is grey being coverd with dense silky hairs. The flowers are of the "toohbrush" type and are borne in the leaf axils,. The deep red perianths are 5mm long while the prominent light orange styles are 25 mm long. Diagnosis: This cultivar differs from its stated parent in leaf shape and size and colour of style.The leaves are shorter, about 90mm long , compared with about 130mm for Grevillea hookeriana.The styles are light orange in colour compared with red for Grevillea hookeriana. Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie' is also a seedling selection from Grevillea hookeriana. Grevillea 'Poorinda Silver Sheen' differs from Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie' in flower and style colour.

Small compact weeping shrub 0.75m (h) x 1-1.2m (w) with unique twisted foliage. Selection criteria: plant growth habit bushy and phyllode undulation along length strong to very strong.

Note: Formerly B. 'Telopea Star' This cultivar grows to plus/minus 1m tall by plus/minus 60cm wide. It is fast growing, has an erect habit, and has quite long distances (6-8cm) between nodes. These long internodal distances can tend to make the shrub look sparse. The cultivar has round stems, and the newer growth has a covering of fine brown hairs. The leaves are pinnate and glabrous, with the leaflets being from plus/minus 2.5cm long by plus/minus .7cm wide. The terminal leaflet is longer, being from plus/minus 3.5cm long by plus/minus 1cm wide. The leaflets are oblong-elliptical to lanceolate in shape. The flowers are borne in umbels of 3-6 flowers either terminally on the branchlets or in the leaf axils. They are pink in colour and star-shaped and open well to plus/minus 1.5cm in diameter. Flowers are profuse in the spring but odd flowers are found during most of the year. Diagnosis: This cultivar has only a light covering of brownish hairs on the newer growth and the leaves are glabrous. B. mollis has a denser covering of hairs on the new growth which extends for some distance down the stems. The leaves on B. mollis have stellate hairs on the under side of the leaves. The leaves of the cultivar when checked against specimens of B. mollis are generally much larger. Whereas B. fraseri has many trifoliate leaves, the leaves of the cultivar are truly pinnate. B. 'Telopea Valley Star' has the long internodes of B. mollis. B. fraseri has much more compact internodal distances, while B. fraseri has square sectioned stems. The cultivar is more robust than either of its purported parents. Comparators: Boronia mollis NBG 006544, 002848; B. fraseri NBG 065889, 065890.

Boronia megastigma 'Virtuoso' is a colour form of B. megastigma differing from the norm in the very dark to near black coloured outside of the petals, anthers and carpel. The flowering period and form of the cultivar in all other respects is the same as for B. megastigma.

Note: Formerly Boronia 'Uncle Jack's Red' This cultivar is a flower colour form of the species. The flowers are a deep orange red on the outside of the perianth. All other features of the shrub are as for B. megastigma. Diagnosis: This cultivar can be distinguished by the flower colour (described in the colour code below).
