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.

Correa 'Benara Bell'
Erect spreading small shrub to c. 1.0 m x 2 m with a
moderately dense habit. Branchlets finely tomentose with white and
rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming green and sub glabrous with clusters
of stellate hairs. Simple leaves cordate to elliptical, 20 mm x 15 mm. Leaf
tips slightly acute to obtuse, leaf bases cordate, venation reticulate,
margins slightly recurved. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and
coriaceous. Upper surfaces of young leaves minutely tomentose with white
and rust-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale green tomentose with
minute white and rust-coloured stellate hairs. Corolla cylindrical 20 mm x
6 mm pale cream with a pink blush shading to green at the tips. Peak
flowering is from May to August in most districts with spasmodic flowering
throughout the year.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is differentiated from Correa alba var. alba by
the non-splitting corolla tube and length of flower as well as the shape
and tomentum of the leaves. Correa 'Marion's Marvel' has larger flowers (23
mm x 10 mm) that are dominantly pink in colour grading to pale green tips.
Although similar in flower colour to C. 'Ivory Bells', it is differentiated
from that cultivar by leaf size. C. 'Ivory Bells' has much larger leaves
(33 mm x 21 mm) than C. 'Benara Bell' although leaf shape and tomentum are
similar. It is almost identical to C. 'Beek's Beauty' which originated in
the garden of Marianne Beek in Naracoorte. Correa 'Beek's Beauty' is not
widely grown and is unlikely to be presented for registration. The form
being registered is that which arose spontaneously in Phillip Dowling's
garden (Benara Road Nursery).
Correa reflexa var. reflexa 'Lemon and Lime'
Note:
Received as Correa 'Wilson's Promontory Lime and Gold'
Low growing shrub to ca. 60 cm x 2 m with a dense habit.
Branchlets highly tomentose with rust coloured stellate hairs becoming
brown and glabrous with age. Simple cordate leaves, 30 mm x 24 nun, shortly
petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases cordate, venation reticulate,
entire margins with rust-coloured stellate hairs. Upper surfaces of mature
leaves dark green and scabridulous with scattered white stellate hairs
becoming more concentrated at margins. Upper surfaces of young leaves
densely tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs. Young growth may have
pink tinge. Lower surfaces of leaves densely tomentose with white stellate
hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming more concentrated
on the veins and margins. Foliaceous bracts strongly reflexed to enclose
flower. Peduncles axillary, slender, terminating in a pair of foliaceous
bracts clasping the flower. Calyx hemispherical, 4 mm high, fawn coloured
with scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs. Corolla obconical 32 mm x 12
mm, lemon with lime green tips covered with fine tomentum of white-coloured
stellate hairs becoming rusty at tips. Anthers shortly exerted, narrow
oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from March to July in most districts.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar conforms to descriptions for C. reflexa var.
reflexa found naturally in the Gippsland area but is distinctive by its
unique flower colour. The usual green form of C. reflexa is uniformly
coloured from calyx to tip.
Correa backhouseana var. coriacea 'Eucla Gold'
Erect small shrub to c. 1.2 m x 0.8 m with a moderately dense
habit. Branchlets highly tomentose with minute rust-coloured stellate hairs
becoming green and glabrous with occasional clusters of short stellate
hairs on older stems. Simple leaves ovate, 20 mm x 10 mm. Leaf apices
acute, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins entire. Upper
surfaces of mature leaves dark green and coriaceous. Upper surfaces of
young leaves minutely densely tomentose with white stellate hairs and
occasional rust-coloured stellate hairs, becoming more concentrated at
margins. Lower surfaces minutely densely tomentose with white stellate
hairs becoming rust-coloured on the veins and margins. Flowers axillary or
terminal on short branchlets, pedicels 4 mm long, light green minutely
densely tomentose with white stellate hairs. Calyx hemispherical,
mid-green, coriaceous becoming densely tomentose towards base, 2-3 mm long.
Corolla cylindrical, 25 mm x 8 mm with petals barely recurved, creamy
yellow with a fine tomentum of rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming
concentrated towards tips of petals. Stamens 4+4, inserted at base of disc,
filaments broadened towards base, anthers slightly exerted, dark brown,
narrow-oblong, apex slightly truncate. Peak flowering is from April to July
in most districts.
Diagnosis:
Distinguished from other C. backhouseana var. coriacea plants
which have smaller flowers usually less than 20 mm long and are narrower.
Flower colour is also brighter than normal forms, which are pale
yellow-green.
