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.
Chamelaucium 'Blondie'
Shrub with red buds and white flowers.
Selection Criteria: hardy, vigorous, early flowering, floral characteristics, very long flowering and very long vase life.
Chamelaucium 'Bridal Pearl'
Medium shrub with white flowers. Early flowering selection. Selection criteria: vigour, floriferousness, stem length, flower colour and date of flowering.
Chamelaucium 'Bridal Pearl'
Medium shrub with white flowers. Early flowering selection. Selection criteria: vigour, floriferousness, stem length, flower colour and date of flowering.
Leptospermum 'Copper Sheen'
This cultivar grows to ca. 2m tall by 2m wide. The young
foliage is a bronzy-purple in colour and the young stems are reddish in
colour. The flowers have creamish-yellow petals with a greenish centre and
are ca. 25mm in diameter. The flowers are fragrant. The older leaves are
ca. 25mm long by 5mm broad.
Diagnosis:
L. 'Copper Sheen' differs from the more typical form of L.
nitidum in the bronzy-purple colour of the new growth and the spreading
nature of the new growth. The creamy-yellow flowers differ from the white
of L. nitidum. The cultivar has also been confused in the past with L.
macrocarpum. L. 'Copper Sheen' has 3-4 locular capsules compared with
regularly 5 locular in L. macrocarpum; 12mm capsules (17mm); back of
capsule glabrous (back of capsule silky hairy); petals large in comparison
to torus (petals short and stunted); colour of petals constant (petals
white to deep red in L. macrocarpum); leaves 25mm long by 5mm (20mm by
9mm).
Leptospermum 'Pink Cascade'
This cultivar is a low, spreading dense shrub growing to 0.5m
tall with a spread of 1-1.5m. The branchlets have an arching habit. The
leaves are 17-18 mm long by 2-3mm wide and dark green in colour. The new
growth is bright red. The flowers are borne in dense masses along the
stems, opening a light pink colour and fading as they age to white. They
are 15-20mm diameter. The main flowering periods are spring and autumn,
with some flowers found all year round.
Diagnosis:
Leptospermum 'Pink Cascade' can be distinguished by its low
growing form, arched branching habit and the dark green colour of its
foliage.
Leptospermum brevipes 'Backwater Beauty'
It grows as a dense groundcover to approximately 0.3m in
height and 2m in width. Leaves ovate, acute tip; 8mm x 4mm wide; glabrous,
green on upper surface, fine tomentum of silvery hairs on lower surface.
Flowers white, 5 petals each 3 x 3mm. Flower diameter 1cm. Flower centres
green surrounded by a ring of rusty red filaments. Calyx green, 2mm long
and bearing 5 short teeth. Flower pedicel 5mm long. Buds have a light pink
tinge.
Diagnosis:
The variety differs from the common form in
- prostrate habit (L. brevipes is an upright, weeping shrub growing to 3m)
-size, shape and colour of leaves (L. brevipes has longer, 14mm, and
narrower, 3mm, leaves which are covered on both sides with a fine
tomentum).
- Flower colour (L. brevipes lacks the pale pink tinge present in this
cultivar)
