Chrysocephalum apiculatum 'FLOCHRDEF'
Herbaceous perennial with golden yellow billy button flowers from Spring to late Autumn. Grows to 0.2m (h) x 0.4-0.5m (w).
Grevillea 'Eileen Rose'
This cultivar grows from 1.5-2m tall by up to 2m across and
has a fairly open habit. The foliage is greyish and similar in size and
shape to Grevillea 'Misty Pink'. The flowers are in terminal spikes between
10-15cm long and are a deep rosy pink with pink styles. Flowers measure ca.
12cm long by 5cm across. Flowering is continuous throughout the year.
DIAGNOSIS:
Grevillea 'Eileen Rose' - ca. 2m tall x 1.5m wide, deep pink flowers with pink styles, open habit
Grevillea 'Misty Pink' - 3-5m tall x 1.5m tall, soft pink flowers with orange pink styles densely foliaged

Pink' with deeper pink flowers and with more open habit.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Bundara Excelsior'
The habit of this cultivar is similar to normal Chamelaucium
uncinatum. The flowers are an attractive pale mauve.
Diagnosis:
This shrub is very robust. A large percentage of the flowers are
borne on the branch terminals. The original shrub was bred with the cut
flower market in mind and the flower bearing capability of the shrub was
proven by the amount of flowers cropped from it. In the first year 3.4kg,
second year 13.6kg and the third year 18.2kg were cropped from one plant.
This crop rate was recorded at Bundara Nursery. It is distinguished from
other similarly coloured forms by its heavier crop of flowers.
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.
Banksia serrata 'Pygmy Possum'
This cultivar is a very low growing form of the species, growing to .6m tall by up to 2.5m across. The leaves and inflorescences are the smallest in the range of variation of the species. The leaves are up to
8.5cm long by 2cm wide at the widest point. The inflorescences are short and squat, generally reaching 10cm tall by up to 9cm wide, though they have been recorded from 12cm to 20cm tall.
Diagnosis:
Banksia ' Pygmy Possum' can immediately be distinguished by its low, sprawling growth habit and the generally smaller size of its leaves and inflorescences.
NOTE: Like many dwarf selections this cultivar will grow to an upright form. 30 year old plants at the ANBG are now 4-5 metres high.
