Actinotus helianthi 'White Romance'
A tall thin selection with large flowers. Herbaceous shrub to 0.9m(h) x 0.3m(w) variable with pale grey hairy leaves and the daisylike flower heads are greenish and the petal like bracts are cream to white with greenish tips which are 30mm in diameter. . Flowering occurs in spring
Agonis flexuosa 'Belbra Gold'
This cultivar is a leaf colour form of Agonis flexuosa
(Spreng) Schau. It is a dense shrub that grows to ca. 5m tall by 5m wide.
As the leaves first appear they have a reddish tinge but this quickly
changes to a pale yellow forming a golden crown on the plant. As the leaves
mature there is once again a colour change, as they revert to green or a
pale yellow mottled with green. Shortly after this last change the mature
leaves are dropped from the plant. When viewed from a short distance the
plant is a distinct golden colour. The colour of the foliage can be
affected by the amount of light intensity. The golden colour is more
pronounced during summer months in full light. The other features of the
cultivar correspond with those of Agonis flexuosa.
Diagnosis:
A. 'Belbra Gold' is readily distinguished from the usual A.
flexuosa by its foliage colour and its ultimate height, the cultivar only
growing to 5m. It can be distinguished easily from A. flexuosa 'Variegata'
as the variegation is different. A. flexuosa 'Variegata' has leaves with
yellow margins and a green centre as compared to all yellow or yellow
mottled green of A. 'Belbra Gold'.
Comparators:
Agonis flexuosa 'Variegata' (ACRA Number 4) held at
the Herbarium, National Botanic Gardens, Canberra.
Agonis flexuosa 'Marks Mini'
A compact dwarf form of Agonis flexuosa and white flowers in Summer.
Agonis flexuosa 'Midnight Shadow'
Compact small tree or large shrub with weeping dark burgundy new growth which turns deep green as it matures. Flowers white in Summer. Diagnosis: Differs from Agonis flexuosa ‘Jervis Bay After Dark’ in that while new growth is the same dark burgundy the mature leaves are yellow green.
Alyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem'
Compact shrub, 2.0–3.5 m (h) x 2.0–4 m (w); flowers 80–100 mm across x about same long, deep bluish-purple, can be produced most of year but especially Spring to Autumn; leaves 70–120 mm long x about same, palmate with slender petiole, broadly 5-lobed green.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'
A compact medium sized variety, forming a good sized clump. Bold red larger flowers mainly in spring and summer, spot flowering at other times, bird attracting and great cut flowers. Very good in Mediterranean climates, not as vigorous in humid climates where they are best grown in pots.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'

Anigozanthos 'Autumn Sunrise'
Stems to ca. 1.75m tall, panicle plumose, slightly villous.
Flowers on pedicels to ca. 6mm long; the wool plumose, dense with red tinge
on the ovary, becoming more yellow green and less dense towards the lobes.
Perianth tube to ca. 4cm long, scabrous inside, hairs longer towards the
base, some with stellate tips immediately above the ovary; lobes to ca. 1cm
long, silvery plumose inside. Anthers oblong-linear, more or less the same
length as filaments, the connective tipped with a gland like appendage.
Ovules 2-6 per locule. The flowering season is November in Western
Australia.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs from A. flavidus in having a broader but
shorter perianth tube which tapers gradually from the base to the end of
the tube and the corolla lobes are reflexed. The flower stem is less
branched than A. flavidus and the leaves are broader and less upright. Both
the anthers and the filaments are much longer than A. flavidus, and the
anthers are light green whereas in A. flavidus they are always orange.
Anigozanthos 'Autumn Sunrise' differs from A. pulcherrimus in having
generally broader leaves which are lighter green and more upright. The
perianth tube is longer than A. pulcherrimus and broader, but there are
less flowers per branch. Anthers and filaments are similar in colour and
shape but larger than A. pulcherrimus.
Anigozanthos 'Hickman's Delight'
Stems to + 1.5m with a covering of pale orange plumose hairs
becoming more dense and dark red in colour at the final division of the
raceme, some pale hairs persisting. Flowers on pedicels to ca. 8mm long,
the wool dard red with scattered pale hairs lending a dusty appearance.
Perianth tube to + 4cm long, minutely scabrous inside, the hairs becoming
more linear finally with stellate tips; lobes + 1cm long, with grey-green
sometimes pale orange woolly plumose hairs inside. Anthers shorter than
dark purple filaments, the connective with a gland like appendage. Ovules
more than 10 per locule.
Diagnosis:
Anigozanthos 'Hickman's Delight' differs from A. manglesii in
having a shorter perianth tube which is rounded at the end, flat in A.
manglesii. The anthers are greenish yellow, (green in A. manglesii) and the
anthers are arranged in a part circle (flat in A. manglesii). The perianth
lobes are not as reflexed as in A. manglesii and the colour of the perianth
is the same through to the base, (two tone in ordinary A. manglesii). The
leaves are evergreen. It differs from A. rufus in having larger flowers,
i.e. larger and broader corolla tube. Has fewer flowers and less branching.
The colour of the flower is closer to A. rufus than any of the other
species. The leaves are deeper green, with A. rufus leaves having a greyish
tinge. A. 'Hickman's Delight' is different from A. flavidus in havung
shorter flower stems, fewer flowers and less branching. The perianth tube
is much broader and a fraction longer than A. flavidus. The perianth lobes
are much broader and slightly more reflexed than A. flavidus. Anthers are
larger, greenish yellow, orange in A. flavidus, the filaments are much
longer with the outer two being curved, set at an angle of 45 degrees in
A. flavidus. The leaves are similar to A. flavidus but not as upright. The
flowers are significantly larger than in other red flowered cultivars.
Other comments:
This cultivar flowers from November to December in W.A. It
has been in cultivation since 1972.
Anigozanthos 'Regal Claw'
This cultivar grows to 1.5m tall (flower stem). The leaves are
ca. 25cm long by 5-10mm wide and glabrous. The flowers are in terminal
clusters on a double-headed inflorescence. The individual flowers are ca.
40mm long. In bud the flowers are covered in a dense covering of red
plumose hairs but as the flower grows and matures these hairs become more
scattered making the flower appear more orange. Flowers appear over most of
the year with main flush in October.
