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

This plant will grow to a height of about 2m, however a tendency to produce long straggly branches has been noted. Leaves are smooth and grey-green on upper surface being very densely covered in silky hairs on the underside. Stems are covered wtih silky hairs. Each leaf is about 1.5cm long by about 3mm wide and pungent. Diagnosis: Flowers, red grading to yellow towards the limb, borne in very dense clusters. Individual flowers are 1cm long, styles deep pink, are between 1.8 - 2cm long. The flowers are said to be sterile. This cultivar can be distinguished from its parents in that the flower clusters are more dense than either of its parents, and these clusters tend to be more spread out along the branches. G.'Poorinda Beauty' is of the same cross as G. 'Poorinda Splendour' and G. 'Poorinda Wonder', however it is not known whether the same forms of the respective species were used. This cultivar differs from both G. 'Poorinda Splendour' and G. 'Poorinda Wonder' in leaf size. Leaves of this cultivar are about 1.5cm long compared with 2 - 3cm leaves for both G. 'Poorinda Splendour' and G. 'Poorinda Wonder'. Flower colour is only different in that the colour of the perianth tube is a clear bright yellow compared to the duller colour of both G.'Poorinda Splendour' and G. 'Poorinda Wonder'.

Open shrub, 1.5 m (h) x 1.2 m (w) Flowers: Terminal pendulous bottle brush type flowers ca 35–40mm in diameter x 80–100mm long from Jun–Jan Foliage colour: Linear terete, much divided grey-green Comparators: Grevillea oligomera, G. magnifica Reasons for distinctiveness: Grevillea 'Electric Velvet' differs from G. oligomera in its more open, spreading habit with grey-green, mostly divided leaves, and in its large bottlebrush blue-grey and pink flowers being held on arching to cascading leafless branches just beyond the foliage. It differs from Grevillea magnifica in its far smaller and spreading habit, and in its flowers being held in an arching to pendulous habit just beyond the foliage.

Habit/description: A grey-green, low-growing, dense, shrub Size: 0.3-0.5 m H x 1-1.5m W Flower colour: Pink-red Flower size: 46mm; confloresence 170mm Flowering time: Jul-Jan Frost hardiness: High In cultivation since: 2003 Where has it been tested? Melbourne, Sydney Distinguished from G bipinnatifida by its fine divided foliage and its pink/red hairy flowers on long stems beyond the foliage. Distinguished from G. thyrsoides by its larger, coarser and greener leaves and its larger flowers. Comparators: G bipinnatifida, G. thyrsoides

Small shrub. Leaves strongly fragrant (citronella), 7-11 lobed, to 2.5cm long. Leaflets 8 - 10 mm long, oil glands on upper surface, small hairs (sparse) on margins. Flowers usually 4 petals, 4 stamens and 4 carpels but occasionally 5 petals, 9 stamens and 5 carpels. Diagnosis: Boronia 'Tyalge Ruby' differs from B. muellerii by having smaller but strongly fragrant leaves, like B. citriodora. It differs from B. pilosa in having fragrant leaves. It has smaller leaves than B. citriodora and B. pinnata. It has larger leaves than B. citrata and B. 'Sunset Serenade' but is also more fragrant than the latter.

Note: Received as Correa 'Wilson's Promontory Lime and Gold' Low growing shrub to ca. 60 cm x 2 m with a dense habit. Branchlets highly tomentose with rust coloured stellate hairs becoming brown and glabrous with age. Simple cordate leaves, 30 mm x 24 nun, shortly petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases cordate, venation reticulate, entire margins with rust-coloured stellate hairs. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and scabridulous with scattered white stellate hairs becoming more concentrated at margins. Upper surfaces of young leaves densely tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs. Young growth may have pink tinge. Lower surfaces of leaves densely tomentose with white stellate hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming more concentrated on the veins and margins. Foliaceous bracts strongly reflexed to enclose flower. Peduncles axillary, slender, terminating in a pair of foliaceous bracts clasping the flower. Calyx hemispherical, 4 mm high, fawn coloured with scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs. Corolla obconical 32 mm x 12 mm, lemon with lime green tips covered with fine tomentum of white-coloured stellate hairs becoming rusty at tips. Anthers shortly exerted, narrow oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from March to July in most districts. Diagnosis: This cultivar conforms to descriptions for C. reflexa var. reflexa found naturally in the Gippsland area but is distinctive by its unique flower colour. The usual green form of C. reflexa is uniformly coloured from calyx to tip.
