Correa reflexa var. reflexa 'Mary's Choice'
Note:
Received as C. 'Anglesea' Mary D. White.
Erect shrub to ca. 1 m x 1.5 m with an open habit. Branchlets
highly tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming brown and
glabrous with age. Leaves simple, oblong-cordate leaves, 25mm x 9mm,
shortly petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases subcordate, venation
reticulate, entire margins with white-coloured stellate hairs. Upper
surfaces of mature leaves dark green and scabridulous. Upper surfaces of
young leaves pale green and finely tomentose with white-coloured stellate
hairs. Lower surfaces of leaves minutely densely tomentose with white
stellate hairs and becoming rust coloured and more concentrated on the
veins and margins. Peduncles axillary, calyx hemispherical with 4 minute
teeth, 4 mm high, fawn coloured with scattered rust-coloured stellate
hairs. Corolla cylindrical 35 mm x 9 mm, deep red graduating to pale green
at tips, which are barely reflexed and covered with a fine tomentum of
red-coloured stellate hairs becoming white- and tan-coloured at tips.
Anthers shortly exerted, narrow oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from

reflexa by Wilson (1998). The rich-red flower colour and floriferous habit
are the distinguishing features of this selection from the wild. Correa

Grevillea 'Evelyn's Coronet'
The plant can be expected to reach a height of about 2m with a
spread of approximately 1.75m and exhibits an erect habit. Leaves are shiny
green on upper surface and somewhat rough to touch, the underside is a
paler green and covered with hairs. Individual leaves are about 2cm long
and about 3mm wide. Leaf edges are rolled under. Each leaf ends in a sharp
point, sometimes these points are hooked. Flowers are woolly and pink with
upright red-purple styles. Flower clusters are dense, rounded and produced
terminally. Individual flowers are approximately 8mm long, styles up to
1.5cm long. The plant is described as being vigorous and hardy producing
numerous, readily seen terminal inflorescences.
Diagnosis:
It can be distinguished from its asumed parents in that its
leaves are intermediate in size and the flowers are intermediate in size,
colour and formation.

This cultivar was selected for its larger, purple flowers. The
flowers are up to 7mm diameter and are borne on longer pedicels than is
normal. The flowering period is from March to October (in Melbourne) but

density, growing to ca. 0.5m tall by 1-2m wide. The branches are arching.

Diagnosis:
T.'Mingenew' can be distinguished from T. saxicola by its
slightly larger flowers which are the purple colour of the flowers.
