Correa glabra var. turnbullii 'Mt Barker Beauty'
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

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.
