Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Triumphant'
Medium sized shrub which is is a late flowering purple petalled waxflower. It is distinct from known varieties in having the following combination of characters: a later October to mid-November flowering season; small flowers with purple petals; long, thin, leaves; short pedicels.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'White Spring'
This many branched shrub grows to approximately 3 metres with slender stems to 2 metres long; flowers form in the upper axils 13-15 mm across; petals 4-4.6mm long; leaves 19-25mm long. ‘White Springs is distinct from ‘Alba’ in having a later flowering period, smaller flowers and shorter leaves. The calyx of ‘White Spring’ flower is much shorter, barely pone tenth as long, than that of ‘Alba’.This variety is distinct from any other known variety in having the following combination of characters: a late flowering season (October-November); small flowers with white petals; and short leaves.
Chamelaucium 'Variegated Blush'
This many branched shrub grows to approximately 2 metres with flowers axillary; the flower colour varies from white at anthesis to a pink variegation at maturity. Diagnosis: This variety is distinct from any other known variety in having the following combination of characters: a small flower diameter proportional to tube length: calyx short and crescent shaped and flower colour white at anthesis blushing with age to a variegated mauve – pink corresponding to RHS 68A.
Chrysocephalum apiculatum 'Canberra Carpet'
Dense groundcover, 130mm (h) × 5m (w)
Flowers: Deep yellow, heads to 5mm in diameter in terminal clusters, Sept–May
Foliage colour: Green, linear-lanceolate to 30mm long by 6mm at the widest point
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Chrysocephalum apiculatum 'Canberra Carpet' is a vigorous low suckering selection which flowers continuously for most of the year.
Comments: Formerly sold as Chrysocephalum apiculatum (green suckering) by ANPS Canberra.
Chrysocephalum apiculatum 'FLOCHRDEF'
Herbaceous perennial with golden yellow billy button flowers from Spring to late Autumn. Grows to 0.2m (h) x 0.4-0.5m (w).
Grevillea 'Eileen Rose'
This cultivar grows from 1.5-2m tall by up to 2m across and
has a fairly open habit. The foliage is greyish and similar in size and
shape to Grevillea 'Misty Pink'. The flowers are in terminal spikes between
10-15cm long and are a deep rosy pink with pink styles. Flowers measure ca.
12cm long by 5cm across. Flowering is continuous throughout the year.
DIAGNOSIS:
Grevillea 'Eileen Rose' - ca. 2m tall x 1.5m wide, deep pink flowers with pink styles, open habit
Grevillea 'Misty Pink' - 3-5m tall x 1.5m tall, soft pink flowers with orange pink styles densely foliaged
Generally Grevillea 'Eileen Rose' is a smaller shrub than Grevillea 'Misty
Pink' with deeper pink flowers and with more open habit.
Callistemon 'Bob Bailey'
The general morphology of this cultivar resembles C. viminalis, growing to 5m tall by 3m wide. The flowers are in dense spikes 100-160mm long by 60mm wide and the filaments are pink in colour. The
flowering season in Townsville is from August to October.
Diagnosis:
Callistemon 'Bob Bailey' can be distinguished from the typical
form of the species by the denser arrangement of flowers on the spikes and
by the flower colour.The filaments are pink instead of the more usual red.
The inflorescence is also slightly wider than is usual for the species.
Other notes:
The cultivar was introduced to horticulture in limited numbers
in 1984. It has proved drought tolerant in Townsville, with even young
plants surviving well through an extended dry period. The general
performance of the cultivar in other parts of Australia should be as for
C. viminalis. The cultivar must be grown by vegetative means to ensure the
cultivar form.
Crowea 'Festival'
This cultivar is a small, dense shrub that grows to
approximately 1m high by 1m wide. The flowers are star shaped, deep pink in
colour and plus/minus 20mm in diameter. It flowers from November to March
in Sydney with occasional flowers being found at other times of the year.
The leaves are 30-40mm long by plus/minus 4mm wide and narrow elliptical to
elliptical in shape. Leaf margins are entire.
Diagnosis:
Crowea 'Festival' can be distinguished from C. saligna as the
leaves, even though of a similar shape to C. saligna, are smaller. C.
saligna and Crowea 'Festival' have narrow elliptical to elliptical leaves
30-40mm long by plus/minus 4mm wide. C. saligna has very distinct angular
branches, to the point of being "winged". C. exalata has just discernable
angular branches. C. 'Festival' has branches similar to C. exalata. Colour
forms similar to this cultivar can be found in both C. exalata and C.
saligna. However, propagation of these species can be difficult at times.
Crowea 'Festival' propagates readily in a few weeks, giving a good
percentage strike. This cultivar must be grown by vegetative means to
preserve the form. It readily accepts heavy pruning and is a good
cutflower.
