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.
Grevillea 'Orange Marmalade'
This cultivar grows into an open shrub to 2.5m tall by 2m
wide. Leaves ca. 70mm long, densely covered beneath with closely appressed
grey velvety hairs. Leaf veins coated with short brown hairs which are also
present on the stems. Upper surface appears glabrous but is sparsely coated
with very short appressed silky hairs. Flowers are borne in short terminal
racemes and are found sporadically throughout the year; perianth tube
curved and densely covered in brown and grey hairs; style ca. 25mm long,
reddish-black in colour with a thick covering of long brown hairs along
full length of style, large tufts of brown and grey hairs at base of style.

Grevillea 'Nectar Delight'
This cultivar is a decumbent shrub to 300mm tall by up to 2m
across. Leaves deeply divided, 45mm-70mm long, 45mm-55mm wide, usually
bipinnate, with broad tapering wedge-shaped lobes, often again divided with
shorter secondary triangular lobing. Apex of lobes with a long pungent
point. Margins shortly recurved. Upper surface smooth, glabrous; lower
surface with occasional scattered hairs particularly on the veins;
prominent midvein and lateral venation on both surfaces. Flowers in dense
secund inflorescences; terminal, often on short lateral branchlets; simple,
erect, 52mm-65mm long, ca.20mm-30mm wide. Floral rhachis densely hairy,
with mixed matted silky fawn hairs and erect wavy tan hairs. Bracts shortly

Diagnosis:
Grevillea acanthifolia:
Dwarf to medium shrub, 0.3m-2.5m tall; branches
prostrate to ascending; leaves 30mm-75mm long by 35mm wide,
pinnatelydivided nearly to the midrib into 9-15 segments, lobes prickly;
flowers pink to pinkish purple, toothbrush type, racemes 25mm-100mm long,
terminal in upper axils, style pink to red and 20mm long, perianth pinkish
purple
Grevillea x gaudichaudii: Prostrate to 300m high by 2m-5m across; branches
prostrate to procumbent; leaves 110mm by 75mm, ovate and deeply divided
into 5-9 segments, turning reddish in cooler months; flowers deep pinkish
red, racemes to 8omm long by 25mm wide, terminal or in upper axils, style
deep bright red, 25mm long, perianth greyish-red.
Grevillea 'Nectar Delight': Decumbent shrub to 300mm high by 2m across;
branches horizontal; leaves 45mm-70mm long and deeply divided into 5-8
segments; flowers in dense terminal racemes, 50mm-65mm long by 20-23mm
wide; style deep dusty pink; perianth cream to browny-grey.
The main distinguishing features of the cultivar are its decumbent habit;
the foliage is intermediate between the parents; the inflorescence is
larger than in G. x gaudichaudii, but are pinker; the flowers are redder
than G. acanthifolia.
Grevillea 'Ruby Clusters'
A dense, rounded shrub 1-2m tall by 1-2m wide. Leaves are
entire, narrow-elliptical to narrow lanceolate, 35mm-65mm long by 7-12mm
wide, with a short (3-5mm) petiole, and a short non pungent mucro; margins
shortly revolute; upper surface glabrous, dark green, with a prominent
mid-vein and less prominent secondary venation, lower surface sparsely
covered with a fine appressed indumentum, venation not prominent. Flowers
in erect terminal inflorescences on short lateral branchlets, or
occasionally axillary; simple or occasionally branched, ca.35mm long by
40mm wide. The floral rhachis lightly covered in appressed silky hairs just
before the curve of the limb on the inside, 12mm long, 4-5mm wide,
rectangular in shape, with limbs splitting into 4 separate filaments, while
remaining united at the tepals. Pistil 27-30mm long, glabrous; stipe 6mm
long, ovary barely swollen; pollen presenter broad, flattened, erect,
stigma a prominent point.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is characterised by the clusters of large ruby red
curiously shaped flowers and the narrow, elliptical glabrous leaves. It
differs from G. shiressii in having ruby red, not green flowers; smaller,
narrow-elliptical leaves; smaller bushy shrub to 2m. The other parent is
uncertain, but possibly G. speciosa subsp. oleoides or G. victoriae x G.
juniperina hybrid.
