Acacia pravissima 'Golden Carpet'
It is a prostrate plant that will reach a height of about
400mm and attain a spread of about 6m. The phyllodes are triangular being
about 10mm long by about 8mm wide. The lower edge of each phyllode ends in
a sharp point. The yellow flowers are produced in profusion. Each globular
head of flowers is 4mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from the known normal forms of its
parent in its completely prostrate habit. Acacia pravissima is normally a
tall shrub or small tree.

Large compact shrub up to 6m(h) x 4m(w) with reddish new growth and white flowers.
Acmena smithii 'Mauve Maisie'
Large shrub with variegated leaves and pink new foliage growth.
Acmena smithii 'Minnie Magic'

Grevillea 'Copper Crest'
It is a dense mainly prostrate shrub reaching a width of 3-4m but also tends to produce upward arching branches to a height of about 600mm. These branches give an unusual saucer shape to the plant. The leaves are deeply lobed and up to 90mm long by about 40mm wide. Individual lobes which are pointed, are up to 7mm wide. The upper leaf surface is green with prominent veins while the underside is greyer with very prominent veins. A feature of the plant is that new growth is copper-coloured. The flowers are soft pink and produced in the leaf axils. They appear throughout the year with the main flowering period in late spring through to summer.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parents in the copper
to bronze leaf colouring.
Grevillea 'Superb'
This cultivar is a shrub of medium density, growing to plus/minus 1m tall by 1-2m wide. The foliage is very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon' (a cross with the same parent species) and it is virtually impossible to distinguish between them. The inflorescence can measure plus/minus 15cm long by plus/minus 9cm wide. The individual flowers are moderately densely packed on the raceme and completely encircle the rachis. Individual flowers measure 4.5 to 5cm long. The pedicel and perianth are also covered in dense, closely appressed hairs. The style appears glabrous but does have scattered, very short, silky hairs. The inflorescences are borne teminally. The buds are dark in colour before opening. The inflorescences are very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon' except in colouration. The flowers are salmon in colour with the perianth changing to red as they
age. The styles are red with yellow tips.
Diagnosis:
Vegetatively this cultivar is very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon'. The difference is in the flower colour as described above.
Grevillea banksii 'Kingaroy Slippers'
The leaves are the same as G. banksii. The flowers are borne
in the normal terminal inflorescences for G. banksii. Individual florets
are pink and about 15mm long and the dark pink styles are about 40mm long.
It flowers throughout the year with a main flowering period during summer.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is different form other known normal forms of G.
banksii in that as the anther unfurls, instead of the limb releasing the
stigma and the perianth splitting so the anther can be released, the
perianth tube breaks away from just below the ovary, and still being
attached at the limb and stigma, is carried away form its normal position.
Self pollination occurs as fertile seed is produced.
