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 megastigma 'Heaven Scent'
This cultivar grows to a height of .5m by .3m wide. It has a
compact and symmetrical shape and the shrub is very dense. The flowering
period is from September to October. The colour of the flowers does not
differ from those of the usual form.
Diagnosis:
The diagnosis is prepared comparing the cultivar against the most common, or "normal" form of the species.
B. megastigma
B. 'Heaven Scent'
1.5-2m x 1m; open
.5m x .3m; compact
multi-branched shrub
multi-branched shrub
flowers ca. 8-9mm diameter
flowers ca. 5mm diameter
considerable leaf drop after flowering.
less leaf drop after flowering.
The cultivar is more resistant to Boronia rust disease, is more floriferous
and the flowers are held on the plant for a longer period of time. The last
factor extends the flowering season by some weeks.
Xerochrysum bracteatum 'Barleythorpe'
This cultivar grows into a dense shrub plus/minus 60cm tall by
up to 1m wide. The leaves are similar in size and shape to X. 'Dargan Hill
Monarch' but lack the dense tomentum of that cultivar. The inflorescence is
much the same size as X. 'Dargan Hill Monarch', being some 7-9cm in
diameter. X. 'Barleythorpe' has inner involucral bracts that are narrower
and more numerous than in B. 'Dargan Hill Monarch'. The inflorescence is
golden yellow in colour and the flowering season extends from spring to
autumn.
Diagnosis:
Xerochrysum 'Barleythorpe' can be distinguished from B. 'Dargan
Hill Monarch' by the more numerous and narrower inner involucral bracts and
the less tomentose leaves.
