Grevillea alpina 'Grampians Gold'
This cultivar has golden yellow flowers and the perianth is
covered in prominent brownish hairs. All other characteristics are as for
G. alpina.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Grampians Gold' has golden yellow flowers and
prominent rusty brown hairs covering the perianth segments. This
distinguishes it from the normal colour forms of G. alpina which are red
and yellow or red and cream.

Shrub 30cm (h) x 1–1.5m (w)
Flowers:
Spring–summer, apricot; conflorescence 35mm x 25mm
Foliage colour:
Green
Comparators:
Grevillea ‘New Blood’ and Grevillea juniperina Tinga form.
Reasons for distinctiveness:
This selection has prolific orange flowers and
low spreading growth habit.
Grevillea 'Superb'
This cultivar is a shrub of medium density, growing to plus/minus 1m tall by 1-2m wide. The foliage is very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon' (a cross with the same parent species) and it is virtually impossible to distinguish between them. The inflorescence can measure plus/minus 15cm long by plus/minus 9cm wide. The individual flowers are moderately densely packed on the raceme and completely encircle the rachis. Individual flowers measure 4.5 to 5cm long. The pedicel and perianth are also covered in dense, closely appressed hairs. The style appears glabrous but does have scattered, very short, silky hairs. The inflorescences are borne teminally. The buds are dark in colour before opening. The inflorescences are very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon' except in colouration. The flowers are salmon in colour with the perianth changing to red as they
age. The styles are red with yellow tips.
Diagnosis:
Vegetatively this cultivar is very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon'. The difference is in the flower colour as described above.
Grevillea banksii 'Kingaroy Slippers'
The leaves are the same as G. banksii. The flowers are borne
in the normal terminal inflorescences for G. banksii. Individual florets
are pink and about 15mm long and the dark pink styles are about 40mm long.
It flowers throughout the year with a main flowering period during summer.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is different form other known normal forms of G.
banksii in that as the anther unfurls, instead of the limb releasing the
stigma and the perianth splitting so the anther can be released, the
perianth tube breaks away from just below the ovary, and still being
attached at the limb and stigma, is carried away form its normal position.
Self pollination occurs as fertile seed is produced.
Grevillea 'Golden Sparkle'
Grevillea 'Golden Sparkle' was described by H and J Sparks
(Your Garden February 1973) in these terms. "This Grevillea which we have
named 'Golden Sparkle' grows 4ft to 5 ft and has a typical spider flower of
orange-red. In spring and autumn the foliage tips turn a striking reddish
bronze, which adds to its beauty".
Diagnosis:
The specimen presented for registration appears to be a cultivar
of Grevillea speciosa (Knight) D. McGillivray. It differs from this species
in the leaf variegation which apparently sugggested its cultivar name. The
variegation consist of an irregular border or blotches of golden yellow on
a background of somewhat pale to normal deep green.
