Leptospermum polygalifolium 'Copper Glow'
A moderately open shrub to 3m tall by 2m wide after 7 years.
The young stems are reddish and the narrowly oblanceolate to narrowly
elliptical leaves are up to 20mm long by 2mm wide. They are bronze-green on
the upper surface and paler beneath. The five petalled flowers are white
and approximately 16mm diameter. The fruits are 6mm diameter with the
typical high dome of the species.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from other forms of L. polygalifolium in
having bronze-green colour to the upper surface of the leaves and reddish
stems of the new growth.
Lomandra longifolia 'Peak Alone Limeglow'
Lomandra 'Peak Alone Limeglow' grows to a height of 40 to 45cm and up to 1m across. The minute cream and brown flowers appear in September to October. The main feature of the cultivar is the extremely attractive variegated foliage.
Diagnosis:
The main difference between this cultivar and the usual form of the species is the variegation of the leaves. The variegation is reasonably regular over the leaf blade and no reversion has been noted. It is said to be a more compact plant than the usual form.
Macropidia fuliginosa 'No Black'
The growth and habit of this cultivar are well within the
usual range of growth forms of Macropidia. Flowering stems of container
grown plants are 100cm high and divaricately branched. Flowers are 45-55mm
long including stamens and up to 40mm wide when the perianth lobes reflex.
The stellate hairs on the perianth are mostly yellow green mixed with grey
orange, towards the ovary they increase in number where they become dense
overlying almost black hairs. The grey orange hairs fade with age to white
especially towards the perianth lobes. Sparse grey hairs are found on the
upper scape. Inside the perianth the lower 2 lobes in particular, at the
point where they reflex have a tinge of black amongst the glabrous shiny
dark green colouring. The black is not evident on the normal forms of
Macropidia growing at Perth Zoo. Whilst the reflexed perianth lobes curl
back as the flowers age they appear to curl back faster in this cultivar
initially at a 90 degrees angle giving the appearance of an open petaloid
flower with only a short portion of the ends of the lobes curling inwards.
Diagnosis:
Habit and form similar to the usual forms of Macropidia. Its
main distinguishing features are the unusual flower colour, predominantly
yellow/green and the open petaloid-like appearance of the maturing flowers.
Melia azedarach 'Lady Gwenda'
This cultivar differs in its variegated foliage. All other
features of the cultivar are as for M. azedarach.
Diagnosis:
The main feature of this cultivar is the variegation on most
leaves and the yellow striation on the fruits. The variegation is
irregular, with some leaflets almost totally yellow while others are the
usual green.
Lomandra hystrix 'LHBYF'
Mat Rush which grows to 1.5m – 1.8m high x 1.2m – 1.5m wide with pale yellow fragrant flower heads from September to November. Full sun to heavy shade.
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.
Boronia 'Carousel'
This cultivar is a moderately dense upright shrub, growing
from 1-4 metres tall, but usually is 2m tall by 1.5m wide. The foliage is a
very dark green. The flowers occur in mid spring (late October to early
November in Sydney), are pink in colour aging to a deep red. The petals
last for a long period.
Diagnosis:
Boronia 'Carousel':
An upright shrub 1-4 metres tall by 1.5m wide. Leaves
pinnate to 35mm long, leaflets to 10mm long, dark green and mainly glabrous
(some scattered hairs along main vein). Flowers bell shaped, ca. 8mm long,
solitary, petals bright pink aging to deep red. Flowers October-November.
Boronia heterophylla (Red or Kalgan Boronia):
An upright, bushy shrub to 3m
tall by 2m wide though usually smaller and narrower. Leaves pinnate or
simple to 50mm long, leaflets to 30mm long, dark green and glabrous.
Flowers bell shaped, ca. 10mm long, solitary, petals reddish-pink and fade
as they age, slightly fragrant. Flowers can be found between
August-November.
Boronia molloyae (Tall Boronia):
An upright to spreading shrub 1-4m tall by
1-2m wide. Leaves pinnate, 20-50mm long, dark green and hairy, aromatic.
Flowers bell like, ca. 5mm long, solitary, pinkish-red, not fading with
age. Flowers October-January
The main characteristics of importance are the length of time the flowers
are held and the retention of the colour of the flowers as they age.
