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.
Grevillea 'Lawson Queen'
Open shrub, 1m (h) x 1m (w)
Flowers:
Deep pink
Foliage colour:
Dark Green
Comparators:
Grevillea sericea, G. oleoides
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Thought to be a Grevillea sericea hybrid,
possibly with G. oleoides which also occurs in the area. The differences
are in the deepness of the pink in the flower colour and the leaf
characteristics. The very best-coloured G. sericea comes nowhere near it.
The leaves are much wider than G. sericea. The leaf is a much darker green
than G. sericea. Grevillea sericea can be quite variable in leaf, and for a
while it was thought it could possibly be a new species however it does not
set seed suggesting it may be sterile hybrid.
It has been in the applicant's garden since it was first collected.
Grevillea 'Honey Jo'
A moderately dense, compact medium shrub 2 metres high by 1.5
metres wide. Leaves linear, up to 50mm long by 3mm wide, apex acute, light
green above. Flowers 25mm in diameter, grading from deep pink at base to
light pink, occur prolifically from September to April, strongly perfumed.
Diagnosis:
Thought to be hybrid between Grevillea sericea and G.
linearifolia. The flowers are appear to be superficially similar to G.
sericea however this species does not have a strong perfume. The main
feature of G. ‘Honey Jo’ is the strong perfume.
Lomandra confertifolia subsp. pallida 'PomPom'
A male dwarf mound-forming mutation of the subspecies, 40–60
cm high, 70–100 cm across, with dense semi-erect to arching foliage,
inflorescences generally hidden amongst the foliage.
Flowers:
Autumn to summer, cream to yellow small flowers, inflorescences
quarter to half length of leaves.
Foliage colour:
Mid green, thin, semi-erect to arching, strappy leaves,
forming a dense mound.
Comparators:
Lomandra confertifolia subsp. pallida Kuranga variety,
Lomandra confertifolia subsp. pallida 'Lime Tuff', Lomandra confertifolia
subsp. pallida 'Little Lime'. Based on general plant appearance,
particularly leaf morphology, habit, relatedness and parentage these are
the closest varieties of common knowledge known to the applicant.
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Lomandra 'PomPom' has semi-erect to arching
foliage and flowers readily whereas L. 'Little Lime' has erect foliage and
is thought to be sterile. L. 'PomPom' has a low mound-forming habit to 60
cm high, whereas L. 'Lime Tuff' and L. Kuranga variety have a rounded to
vase-shaped habit to 120 cm high.
