Mat Rush: clumping plant grows 0.4m(H) x 0.3m(w) with blue grey leaves.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Bunyip'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra confertifolia 'LCS1'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes. Comparitors: L. 'Mist', L. 'Merlon Ruby', L. Seascape', L. 'Silver Grace'. Diagnosis: Lomandra confertifolia 'LCS1' is a short to medium dense grasslike perennial with more and longer inflorescences than other most similar varieties.

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.
Lomandra filiformis 'LMF500'
Compact clumping plant fine textured, blue-green foliage grows to 30 cm high x 30 cm wide. Small yellow flowers appear from September to November.
Citrus australasica 'Judy's Everbearing'
Tall shrub or small tree to a maximum of 3-4 metres high by 2
– 3 metres wide with dense foliage. Axillary spines solitary, straight to
25mm long. Leaves are simple, obovate to elliptic, glabrous. Flowers white
(with pink buds) approximately 10-15mm in diameter. Fruit a cylindrical
berry, 4-8 cms long, 15-25mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
C. ‘Judy’s Everbearing’ is a tall growing selection which bears
fruit all year round.
Correa 'Summer Belle'
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.
