Actinotus helianthi 'White Romance'
A tall thin selection with large flowers. Herbaceous shrub to 0.9m(h) x 0.3m(w) variable with pale grey hairy leaves and the daisylike flower heads are greenish and the petal like bracts are cream to white with greenish tips which are 30mm in diameter. . Flowering occurs in spring
Agonis flexuosa 'Belbra Gold'
This cultivar is a leaf colour form of Agonis flexuosa
(Spreng) Schau. It is a dense shrub that grows to ca. 5m tall by 5m wide.
As the leaves first appear they have a reddish tinge but this quickly
changes to a pale yellow forming a golden crown on the plant. As the leaves
mature there is once again a colour change, as they revert to green or a
pale yellow mottled with green. Shortly after this last change the mature
leaves are dropped from the plant. When viewed from a short distance the
plant is a distinct golden colour. The colour of the foliage can be
affected by the amount of light intensity. The golden colour is more
pronounced during summer months in full light. The other features of the
cultivar correspond with those of Agonis flexuosa.
Diagnosis:
A. 'Belbra Gold' is readily distinguished from the usual A.
flexuosa by its foliage colour and its ultimate height, the cultivar only
growing to 5m. It can be distinguished easily from A. flexuosa 'Variegata'
as the variegation is different. A. flexuosa 'Variegata' has leaves with
yellow margins and a green centre as compared to all yellow or yellow
mottled green of A. 'Belbra Gold'.
Comparators:
Agonis flexuosa 'Variegata' (ACRA Number 4) held at
the Herbarium, National Botanic Gardens, Canberra.
Agonis flexuosa 'Marks Mini'
A compact dwarf form of Agonis flexuosa and white flowers in Summer.
Agonis flexuosa 'Midnight Shadow'
Compact small tree or large shrub with weeping dark burgundy new growth which turns deep green as it matures. Flowers white in Summer. Diagnosis: Differs from Agonis flexuosa ‘Jervis Bay After Dark’ in that while new growth is the same dark burgundy the mature leaves are yellow green.
Alyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem'
Compact shrub, 2.0–3.5 m (h) x 2.0–4 m (w); flowers 80–100 mm across x about same long, deep bluish-purple, can be produced most of year but especially Spring to Autumn; leaves 70–120 mm long x about same, palmate with slender petiole, broadly 5-lobed green.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'
A compact medium sized variety, forming a good sized clump. Bold red larger flowers mainly in spring and summer, spot flowering at other times, bird attracting and great cut flowers. Very good in Mediterranean climates, not as vigorous in humid climates where they are best grown in pots.

Callistemon viminalis 'Prolific'
A small tree to 6m high by 4m across with pendulous branch
tips. The leaves are narrowly elliptical to 50mm long by 7mm wide. The
bright red flowers are borne in spikes clustered near the branch ends. Each
spike is about 80mm long by 40mm across. They are seen in late spring and
summer and again in autumn in the eastern states and from June to October
in Western Australia.
Diagnosis:
The only significant differences between this and other forms of
C. viminalis are its prolific flowering habit and the flowering spikes
borne in clusters at the branch ends. The branch ends are not as pendulous
as some forms. It is not readily identifiable.

Grevillea 'Poorinda Leane'
It is said this cultivar will reach a height of about 4m and
has a spreading habit. Leaves are dark glossy green on the upper surface
whilst the underside is covered with silky white hairs. Each leaf is up to
4cm long and about 4mm wide and is pungent. Leaf edges are rolled under.
Flowers are buff to apricot and produced in terminal clusters on short
branchlets. Each flower is about 1.5 - 2cm long, styles are red and up to
2.5cm in length.Although this cultivar is similar to G. 'Poorinda Queen',
it can be distinguished from it by the longer leaves, its flower colour and
its spreading habit.
