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'

Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Rosy Posy'
This cultivar is a form of the dark green, fine leaved variety
of G. rosmarinifolia. It grows to ca. 1.5m tall by 1.5m wide. The leaves
are linear 30-45 mm long by 1mm wide and have a mucronate point. Leaves are
glabrous above and below with very occasional silky hairs on the mid-vein
of the leaf on the underside. The branchlets are covered with scattered
silky hairs. The flowers are ca. 20mm long. The perianth is a rosy pink
with a yellow tip. The style is a deep pink to red. The racemes are 40 to
50mm long and densely packed with flowers. Flowers can be found throughout
the year with the main flowering season being late winter to early spring.
Diagnosis:
G. rosmarinifolia varies greatly over its range. Grevillea
'Rosy Posy' is distinguished by its exceptionally large racemes of flowers.
Grevillea 'Sunrise'
Note:
Originally named 'Wakiti Sunrise'. Registered as 'Sunrise'
This cultivar forms a bushy shrub from 0.5 - 0.8m tall and up
to 2m wide. The foliage is grey-green and the leaves may be divided or
entire, 45 to 55mm long and 25-30mm wide at the widest point. Leaves are
often pinnatisect, divided into three to five broadly elliptical lobes, and
each leaf lobe ends with a strongly pungent tip. Leaves are obovate with
margins that are slightly recurved. The undersurface of the leaf is covered
with a dense tomentose indumentum. Midveins are prominent and covered in
hairs. Petioles are from 3-5mm long. Branchlets are covered with spreading
dense hairs. The flowers are borne in spring and summer on and form loose
racemes up to 55mm long. The flowers are apricot pink.
Diagnosis:
It is difficult to relate this cultivar directly to either of
the two purported parent species. The distinguishing feature of this
cultivar is the flower colour as both parent plants have red flowers.
Grevillea 'Sunrise' is also a more compact bush than both the purported
parent species.
Grevillea 'Woodlands' is a similar cultivar, but can be distinguished as
its flowers are in tighter clusters with racemes to 3cm long compared with
6cm for Grevillea 'Sunrise'. The flowers are apricot to orange, and are
deeper in colour than those of Grevillea 'Sunrise'.
Grevillea 'Winpara Gold'
This cultivar is a dense shrub to 2m tall by up to 3m wide.
The leaves are grey-green and deeply divided (almost to the midrib) and are
up to 6cm long. The leaf edges are rolled under. The venation under the
leaf is particularly prominent. Each leaf lobe has a short but pungent tip.
The upper surface of the leaf has scattered silky hairs while the lower
surface other than the veins is covered with a dense mat of closely
appressed silky hairs. The branchlets are also covered by fine hairs that
diminish as the wood matures. The flowers are in racemes ca. 25mm long
produced terminally on short lateral branchlets arising from the older
wood. This sometimes leads to the flowers being partially obscured by
younger growth. Individual flowers are densely packed on each raceme. The
perianth is orange-gold in colour, and has a dense covering of fine white
hairs. The perianth is 7-8mm long and splits into four segments. The style
is reddish and hooked when it first emerges but soon straightens, measuring
ca. 14mm long. The flowers are produced from April to November.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Winpara Gold' is identical to Grevillea 'Winpara Gem'
except for the flower colour, 'Winpara Gem' having pink-red flowers and
'Winpara Gold' having a yellow perianth and pink styles.
