Correa 'Betty Fawcett'
The cultivar is a medium dense shrub that grows to 1.0m x 2m.
The foliage is dark green. The flowers are pink and yellow to 25mm long by
8mm wide. It flowers in Autumn and Spring.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is very similar to Correa 'Marian's Marvel'. The
flowers are very similar though Correa 'Marion's Marvel' has more area of
yellow at the base of the bell. The foliage also differs somewhat, with the
leaves of Correa 'Betty Fawcett' having deep indentations where the leaves
occur on the leaf blade.
Callistemon 'Rebecca'
This is an open, low spreading shrub which grows to
approximately 1 metre high by 1.5 metres wide with grey green foliage. The
large bottle brush flowers appear in October-November. Individual flowers
are dusty pink/pale mauve and are 100mm long and 50mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
A most attractive low spreading shrub with an unusual dusty
pink/pale mauve flower colour.
Correa 'Federation Belle'
A small rounded shrub approximately 30 - 40 cm x 1m. Leaves
dark-green, glabrous and slightly scabrous, cordate, 33 mm x 24 mm. Corolla
cylindrical 28 mm x 13 mm, rose pink becoming pale green towards tips.
Corolla tips barely reflexed. Flowering begins in late February and
continues through autumn and early winter.
Diagnosis:
Initially Correa ‘Federation Belle’ appeared to have some
similarities to C. Marion’s Marvel however it is now clear that it has a
closer affinity to C. reflexa var speciosa.
Correa 'Federation Belle' has a much larger flower than the forms of C.
reflexa var speciosa which were growing in the garden at Mole River
Station.
Grevillea 'Sid Reynolds'
A dense, rounded shrub 2-2.5m high and wide with dull
grey-brown bark on trunk and branches, branchlets with an appressed silvery
indumentum. Leaves entire, linear-lanceolate 40-67mm long, 2-3mm wide,
margins shortly revolute. Upper surface glabrous green, lower surface with
a fine appressed silvery indumentum. Venation not prominent except for
midvein, particularly on lower surface. Flowers in erect on occasionally
decurved terminal inflorescences, on short lateral branchlets or
occasionally axillary, within the foliage; simple or occasionally branched,
c. 3cm long, 5cm wide. Floral branches covered in matted white hairs.
Perianth with scattered appressed white hairs outside, glabrous inside
except for a dense heard just before the curve of the limb; 7-8mm long,
2-3mm wide. Pistil 23-26mm long, glabrous, stipe 4-5mm long,
pollen-presenter lateral.
Diagnosis:
Characterised by the large, dense rounded habit, and profuse
pale red and pink flowers with a yellow limb. Differs from the parent G.
pinaster in its larger, more robust habit, its longer and broader leaves
(to 67mm long x 3mm wide) and its far more profuse and larger
inflorescences. (Other parent uncertain but possibly G. commutata.)
Correa reflexa var. speciosa 'Fat Fred'
This cultivar is a very large flowered form of the species.
The flowers are quite squat, measuring plus/minus 30mm overall by
plus/minus 13mm in diameter. The upper part of the corolla tube is red
while the tips are a clear green yellow. All other characteristics of the
cultivar fit within the known range of variation of C. reflexa var.
speciosa.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar can be distinguished by its very large flowers.
Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Lara Dwarf'
It is a prostrate to procumbent shrub growing to a height of
up to 300mm by up to 1m wide.The grey leaves are up to 14mm long by about
2mm wide. The leaf edges are rolled under.The flowers are borne at the ends
of short branchlets. Individual florets are creamy white blushed pink and
are about 7mm long and the deep pink styles are 18mm long. The main
flowering period is from April to October.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from the known forms of G.
rosmarinifolia in its prostrate and compact growth habit, grey foliage and
masses of flowers which are easily visible.
Grevillea 'Fanfare'
Note:
Specimen received as G. 'Austraflora Fan-Fare'. Originally registered
as Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare'
It is a plant exhibiting a generally prostrate habit with a
spread of 4-5m. The leaves are deeply lobed and up to 150mm long by up to
45mm wide across the lobes. Each lobe is about 10mm wide and ends in a
point. On the specimen examined there were up to 18 lobes per leaf. The
leaves are dark green on the upper surface with a sparse covering of long
silky hairs when young. These hairs are lost as the leaf matures, however
the underside retains a dense covering of silky hairs much longer. The dark
flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are produced in the leaf axils.
Individual flowers are about 8mm long while the dusty pink styles are about
25mm long. The colour of the style is the dominant flower colour.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different form Grevillea longifolia in habit
and leaf shape. Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' is generally prostrate
compared with up to 20mm wide for Grevillea longifolia. The width of
individual lobes varies form 10mm for Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' to
5mm for Grevillea longifolia. This cultivar is different from Grevillea x
gaudichaudii in shape of leaf. Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' has longer;
150mm, and narrower; 45mm wide leaves compared with leaves up to 85mm long
and up to 65mm wide for Grevillea x gaudichaudii. Two similar registered
cultivars with lobed leaves and a prostrate habit are Grevillea 'Poorinda
Royal Carpet' and Grevillea>'Poorinda Royal Mantle'. Grevillea
'Austraflora Fanfare' is different form Grevillea 'Poorinda Royal Carpet'
in leaf shape and style colour. Grevillea 'Poorinda Royal Carpet' has both
entire and lobed leaves. Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' does not have
entire leaves and they are also longer and wider than those of Grevillea
'Poorinda Royal Carpet'. Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' has a dusty pink
styles compared with deep pink styles for Grevillea 'Poorinda Royal
Carpet'. Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' is different form Grevillea
'Poorinda Royal Mantle' in leaf shape and style colour. Grevillea
'Poorinda Royal Mantle' has both entire and lobed leaves. Grevillea
'Austraflora Fanfare' does not have entire leaves. Its leaves are also
longer and wider than those of Grevillea 'Poorinda Royal Mantle'.
Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare' has dusty pink styles compared with deep
pink for Grevillea 'Poorinda Royal Mantle'.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Jeanie'
It is an upright shrub growing to a height of about 2m. The
leaves are entire and 15-20mm long by about 3-5mm wide with slender points.
The upper leaf surface is slightly hairy, particularly when young, while
the underside is at all times densely hairy. The leaf edges are rolled
under. The flowers are formed into small clusters borne on short
branchlets. The perianth is red and about 12mm long while the style is the
same colour but about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from Grevillea alpina in having much
less hairy leaves and stems. The leaves are also sharp pointed. The
perianths and styles are larger and longer than those usually seen in
Grevillea alpina. Grevillea 'Poorinda Jeanie' differs from Grevillea
juniperina in having wider leaves and hairs on the upper surface of the
leaves. The flowers are much broader than those of Grevillea juniperina.
Boronia pilosa 'Rose Blossom'
This cultivar grows to 0.6m tall by 0.6m wide and is very
dense. The flowers are double and deep pink in colour. The flowering period
is from late winter to spring in Melbourne.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar can be distinguished by the double flowers and its
noticeably denser growth habit.
Grevillea 'Sunset Splendour'
Shrub 3-4m tall, spreading to 2-3 m. Flowering is almost
throughout the year. The flowers are deep burnt orange in colour. The
foliage open and is grey-green in colour. Leaves are pinnately divided into
c.10-18 linear lanceolate sub-opposite lobes c.2-4 mm wide, 60-110mm long;
overall leaf length c.23-30 cm; upper surface dull green with a more or
less sparse covering of appressed white hairs; lower surface with an
indumentum of dense white appressed hairs. Flowers occur in terminal,
crowded cylindrical inflorescences c.9-16 cm long; perianth c.11-12mm long,
3-4 mm wide, outer surface with an open indumentum of wavy white hairs,
inner surface smooth and glabrous; limb bright yellow with similar
indumentum to perianth. Pistil 33-36 mm long; ovary sessile, covered in
dense white semi-appressed hairs; nectary prominent, bright yellow, with a
margin of deeply incised triangular lobes; style glabrous, shortly curved
above the small pollen presenter
Diagnosis:
The colour of the inflorescence is unique, being a distinct
burnt orange.
