Melaleuca huegelii 'HuegflatGL'
Low spreading plant 20cm high x 2m across with small white bottlebrush flowers in Summer
Melaleuca thymifolia 'Little Beauty'
This cultivar is a compact and dense shrub growing to ca. 0.3m
tall by 0.6m wide. It flowers over most of the year except the winter
months. The flowers are mauve and up to 20mm in diameter. The plant
otherwise resembles M. thymifolia.
Diagnosis:
M. thymifolia 'Little Beauty' differs from the more usual forms
of the species in the flower colour, the density in which the flowers are
borne and its compact, dense habit. The flowers on this cultivar are borne
in dense clusters across the top of the plant as compared to the scattered
axillary clusters of flowers found in the normal form of the species.

Hypocalymma cordifolium 'Golden Veil'
The cultivar can be expected to grow to a height of about 1m
with a spread of about the same. The small variegated heart shaped sessile
leaves are about 8mm long and wide. They are produced opposite each other
on minutely winged stems. These stems are bright pink while the new growth
is young.
DIAGNOSIS:Hypocalymma 'Golden Veil' is different from the normal form the
species in its leaf variegation. The leaves have an irregular cream margin.
The centre of the leaf is green.
Grevillea 'Jester'
This cultivar is a moderately dense spreading shrub to 3 m. It
grows 2 to 2.5 m tall. The leaves are green above and much paler below.
Flowers appear all year. Rhachis is 12-14 cm, long whorled form densely
packed terminal. Each flower is 3-4 cm long and the style is deep
orange-red; perianth tube is 1 cm long and pale orange outside and deeper
on curved lobes. Light rose perfume. Leaves are grey, silky long, appressed
and deeply lobed with a pungent mucronate tip; 20-21 cm long with recurved
edges; leaf segments are angled upwards. Similar to 'Robyn Gordon'.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Jester': Rachis 12-14cm. Leaves 20-21cm long,
recurved margins;silky-grey appressed hairs and deeply lobed pungent
mucronate tip. Flowers orange with deeper orange-red style. It is similar
to G. 'Robyn Gordon'. Habit 2-2.5x3m and flowers all year.
G. 'Coconut Ice':
Rachis 12-17cm. Leaves 10-15cm spreading, arching , dark
green, shiny, deeply divided, Linear-lanceolate, apex mucronate. Flowers
red-pink with dark red styles. Habit 1-1.5m x .5-1.5m and flowers all year.
G. 'Honey Gem':
Rachis 10-16cm long. Leaves to 30cm, deeply divided and
dark green above, grey below. Margins revolute and apex acuminate. Flowers
apricot with yellow styles. Habit 3-6 x 2-4m with flowers July through
December , some sporadic.
Grevillea 'Red Hooks'
A rounded, dense shrub up to 3m high by 4-5m across, with more
or less horizontal branches. The bright green leaves are pinnately lobed,
with narrow-linear lobes to about 30 mm. Overall leaf length is up to 15cm.
The bright red, toothbrush-like racemes are usually held horizontally and
are about 70mm long. They appear for most of the year but give a maximum
display in winter and spring. The perianth is greyish green and the long,
smooth style is bright red and tends to bend backwards.
Diagnosis:
The herbarium specimen is quite different to either supposed
parent. G. 'Red Hooks' has 10 deep lobes in each leaf. Each lobe is 1-2 cm
wide and revolute. Each lobe is up to 4cm long. G. tetragonoloba has deeply
divided leaves with 3 lobes each revolute, length 2cm. G. longifolia has
flowers not as dense as the other two with taller styles but these are very
prominent. Leaves are 15.5cm long.
Correa 'Redex'
C. ‘Redex’ is a narrow, upright shrub which has
very distinctly different form and foliage from either presumed parent
species. Leaves are ovate, dark green and appear to be glabrous. C. reflexa
is generally an open spreading shrub to >2m with pale green and hairy
leaves and C. decumbens usually prostrate or procumbent with pale green
glabrous leaves.
C. ‘Redex’ has a long flowering season from late winter through to early
autumn depending on the district and climatic conditions while C. decumbens
is summer flowering and C. reflexa generally flowers during winter and
spring.
Habit/description:
A moderately dense, small upright shrub
Size:
1m (h) x 0.8m (w)
Flower colour: Pink/red and yellowLeaves:Glossy, olive green
Flower size: Up to 30mm long x 6mm in diameter
Flowering time: August-March
Frost hardiness:
High
Years in cultivation:
Introduced June 2001
Has the cultivar been tested? Widely tested as a garden plant in Victoria
and New South Wales and in pot cultivation since introduction.
Note:
Although an application by the Australian Native Plant Society,
Correa Study Group to register this cultivar as C. ‘Dancing Lipsticks’ was
received in 1999, it clearly stated that the name C. ‘Redex’ was already in
use for this entity. The ACRA Committee has therefore approved registration
for C. ‘Redex’ rather than C. ‘Dancing Lipsticks’, given the former name’s
earlier publication in the Australian Plants Journal (Payne, W.H., (1997),
New Cultivars, Australian Plants 19(153):202). This decision was based on
Principle 3 of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants
(8th edition, October 2009) which states: “The naming of taxa governed by
this Code is based upon priority of publication. Each cultivar of Group
with a particular circumscription... may bear only one accepted name” .
Grevillea 'Little Thicket'
Individual plants are about 1m high by about 1m wide, however,
dense thickets are formed due to the growth of neighbouring suckers. Tufts
of new shoots appear up to 5m from a main stem. The leaves are green on the
upper surface and silvery on the underside due to dense hairs. They are up
to 18mm long and 3mm wide. The leaf edges are rolled under. The pale yellow
flowers which have a red tinge are 8mm long while the yellow styles are
20mm long. The flowers are produced in small terminal clusters. On
occasions the flowers do not always form but abort at an early stage.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from known naturally occurring forms
of the species in its low suckering habit.
Boronia muelleri 'Sunset Serenade'
This cultivar grows to about 1m tall by up to 1m wide. It is a
dense bush and very floriferous. The main flowering season is from August
to December though occasional flowers are found throughout the year. The
flowers are up to 10mm across and are pink in colour.
Diagnosis:
B. muelleri 'Sunset Serenade' can be distinguished from other
forms of B. muelleri by its smaller stature, denser habit and greater
floriferousness.
