A dense, compact shrub approximately 1.5m high x 1m wide, with glossy dark green foliage. Leaves are ovate to elliptical with obtuse tips, 50 mm x 18 mm in size, glabrous and glossy on top, pale green and glabrous below with defined venation. Leaves when crushed have a fruity smell. Flowers occur singly on 4 mm petioles at the ends of short branchlets. The tubular corolla is 27 mm x 6 mm in size, crimson for most of its length then grading to pale green on the tips, which are barely recurved. Stamens are exserted. Flowers gradually turn rose-pink as they age. The calyx is green, glabrous, square in cross-section with 4 minute teeth at the points where the petals are fused. Peak flowering is from Autumn to Winter with sporadic flowering throughout the year. Diagnosis: This variety was selected for its compact shape and glossy dark green foliage.

Dense, spreading low-growing shrub approximately 50 cm high x 1 m wide, with strongly veined mid green ovate to cordate leaves with obtuse tips, 32 mm x 20 mm in size, glabrous and somewhat scabrous on top, pale green and velvety underneath with defined venation. The tubular corolla is creamy white with a light covering of light tan coloured stellate hairs at the tips, which are recurved, exposing pale pink on the inside of the petal tips. Stamens are as long as the petals and barely exerted. The green papery calyx is square in cross-section with 4 triangular pointed lobes. Petioles and pedicels are 2-3 mm long. Flowers Summer to Winter with spasmodic flowering all through the year. Diagnosis: Thought to be a hybrid between C. alba and C. calycina, C. ‘Vanilla Ice’ differs from both these species in both leaf and flower colour and form. C. calycina leaves are longer, elliptical and thinner and the flowers are lime green in colour. The calyx is also larger. C. alba var alba has grayish obovate leaves and white flowers with strongly recurved petals split to the unlobed calyx.

Large spreading dense shrub with upright habit to 1.5 m x 2 m. It has long ascendant stems. Leaves are on short petioles, dark green, lanceolate, shiny, glabrous, leathery and convex on top, pale green and velvety with tiny rusty stellate hairs underneath and having obtuse tips. 28 mm x 8 mm in size. It has the typical aromatic smell of leaves in the C. glabra group. The ends of young branches are rusty tomentose. Flowers on short pedicels occur singly at the ends of short branchlets. The pedicels also have a pair of deciduous bracts. The corolla, which is 2.2 cm x 0.8 cm in size, is reddish pink with mid green tips and a band of purplish green in between. The tips are barely recurved. Stamens are exerted. The calyx is green and cup-shaped with minute teeth. The calyx folds over maturing seed. Peak flowering is from Summer to Winter with spasmodic flowering most of year. Diagnosis: It appears to be a garden hybrid with C. glabra var turnbullii and C. reflexa as possible parents. This variety differs from C. glabra var turnbullii, in that the leaves are smaller and narrower and have some rusty tomentum on the underside. The flowers appear to be longer and have a band of a third colour on the corolla. It still has the characteristic aromatic smell of C. glabra varieties and the flower colour is similar to other C. glabra var turnbullii forms.

Small dense spreading shrub growing to 1 m x 1 m with shiny foliage. Mature leaves opposite, 30 mm x 11 mm in size, elliptical, apex acute, margin slightly irregular and tending to recurve, dark glossy green, slightly scabrous and glabrous on top, regularly pitted with sparsely scattered pale coloured stellate hairs on the margins. Underside of leaves paler green, densely covered with minute tan coloured stellate hairs. Petiole 4mm, light green, thickly covered with tan coloured stellate hairs. Calyx 4.5 mm x 6 mm, tan coloured, square shaped, with minute calyx teeth present, covered with numerous small tan coloured stellate hairs becoming sparser towards the corolla. Pedicel 3 mm. Corolla 33 mm x 8 mm, rose pink colour to the split covered with numerous small rose coloured stellate hairs. Petal tips pale green covered with pale green stellate hairs grading to tan and becoming denser at the tip. Underside of corolla tips pale green and glabrous then changing to a pink throat. Stamens 8, strongly exerted from the corolla, 38 mm long, filaments very fine and pale green, strongly widened towards the base. Anthers bright yellow, 3 mm long. Style 33 mm long. Peak flowering is in summer and continues through to winter. Diagnosis: This cultivar resembles C. glabra var turnbullii in foliage. Leaves are glossy green and aromatic when crushed. Differs from C. ‘ Mt Barker Beauty ’ which has shorter flowers and a green calyx. The flowers of C. ‘ Mt Barker Beauty ’ are also darker red and green and the colour change from red to green occurs further up the corolla from the split. Mature leaves of C. ‘ Mt Barker Beauty ’ are longer and wider. Differs from other C.glabra var turnbullii varieties which have much shorter, narrower and paler pink flowers with highly exerted stamens. Calyx of C.glabra var turnbullii is green rather than tan and mature leaves are longer. The flowers of C. ‘Summer Belle’ are larger than the usual C. glabra var turnbullii varieties.

Plant size: 400mm (h) x 300mm (w) Flowers: Deep red (carmine with yellow tip) Flower size: 38mm long x 15mm diameter Flowering time: April-July Form: Moderately dense Correa reflexa var. speciosa 'Carmen' has similar flower to C. 'Red Empress' which come from the Brisbane Ranges but the flower is larger and more tapered. Its leaves are light green heart shaped 26mm x 17mm recurved edges. It is the size and shape of the flower that distinguishes it from all others. Anthers just exserted, calyx is semi spherical. Frost hardiness: Medium

Small shrub growing to approximately one metre tall. It has dark green leaves and largered bell-shaped flowers. The flowers occur during autumn and winter.

Correa ‘OMG’ is larger than many Correas, growing to 1.5 metres high. In flowering the plant is outstanding with prolific, large red bell-shaped flowers. The flowering period is from autumn through winter.

Prostrate plant 0.8m(h) x 2m(w) with red one sided bottle brush flowers.

Strappy leaved shrub 50-60cm high x 40cm wide with red and green flowers.

This cultivar is a compact plant to 1m tall by 1m wide. The foliage is light green in colour. The leaves are from 30 to 40mm long and 9 to 12mm wide, oblanceolate with a mucronate tip. The branches are angular and very slightly winged. The flowers are pale pink and occur principally from early summer to autumn. Occasional flowers occur at other times of the year. The flowers which are from 25 to 25mm across have a short pedicel and thus sit tightly in the leaf axils. Diagnosis: It is difficult to determine the origin of this putative hybrid by examination of the cultivar. The cultivar resembles a broad-leaved form of C. saligna which is believed to have come originally from Kariong near Gosford, NSW and which saligna has the typical noticeable winged stems right to the tips of the branches whereas Crowea 'Poorinda Ecstasy' does not. The branches are angular in the cultivar, similar to those of C. exalata, with a very slight "wing" lower on the stems. The cultivar differs from Crowea 'Festival', a previously described hybrid Crowea, by its larger leaves and its paler flower colour.
