Lomandra confertifolia 'Merlom Ruby'
Mat Rush: clumping plant grows 0.4m(H) x 0.3m(w) with blue grey leaves.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Bunyip'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra confertifolia 'LCS1'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes. Comparitors: L. 'Mist', L. 'Merlon Ruby', L. Seascape', L. 'Silver Grace'. Diagnosis: Lomandra confertifolia 'LCS1' is a short to medium dense grasslike perennial with more and longer inflorescences than other most similar varieties.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Lime Tuff'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Silver Grace'
A clumping grass-like perennial with blue-grey arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra confertifolia subsp. pallida 'PomPom'
A male dwarf mound-forming mutation of the subspecies, 40–60
cm high, 70–100 cm across, with dense semi-erect to arching foliage,
inflorescences generally hidden amongst the foliage.
Flowers:
Autumn to summer, cream to yellow small flowers, inflorescences
quarter to half length of leaves.
Foliage colour:
Mid green, thin, semi-erect to arching, strappy leaves,
forming a dense mound.
Comparators:
Lomandra confertifolia subsp. pallida Kuranga variety,
Lomandra confertifolia subsp. pallida 'Lime Tuff', Lomandra confertifolia
subsp. pallida 'Little Lime'. Based on general plant appearance,
particularly leaf morphology, habit, relatedness and parentage these are
the closest varieties of common knowledge known to the applicant.
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Lomandra 'PomPom' has semi-erect to arching
foliage and flowers readily whereas L. 'Little Lime' has erect foliage and
is thought to be sterile. L. 'PomPom' has a low mound-forming habit to 60
cm high, whereas L. 'Lime Tuff' and L. Kuranga variety have a rounded to
vase-shaped habit to 120 cm high.
Lomandra filiformis 'LMF500'
Compact clumping plant fine textured, blue-green foliage grows to 30 cm high x 30 cm wide. Small yellow flowers appear from September to November.
Crowea 'Poorinda Ecstasy'
This cultivar is a compact plant to 1m tall by 1m wide. The
foliage is light green in colour. The leaves are from 30 to 40mm long and 9
to 12mm wide, oblanceolate with a mucronate tip. The branches are angular
and very slightly winged. The flowers are pale pink and occur principally
from early summer to autumn. Occasional flowers occur at other times of the
year. The flowers which are from 25 to 25mm across have a short pedicel and
thus sit tightly in the leaf axils.
Diagnosis:
It is difficult to determine the origin of this putative hybrid
by examination of the cultivar. The cultivar resembles a broad-leaved form
of C. saligna which is believed to have come originally from Kariong near
Gosford, NSW and which saligna has the typical noticeable winged stems
right to the tips of the branches whereas Crowea 'Poorinda Ecstasy' does
not. The branches are angular in the cultivar, similar to those of C.
exalata, with a very slight "wing" lower on the stems. The cultivar differs
from Crowea 'Festival', a previously described hybrid Crowea, by its larger
leaves and its paler flower colour.
Crowea exalata 'Green Cape'
It is a prostrate plant reaching a height of about 150mm but
with a spread of about 800mm. The leaves are up to 20mm long by 3mm wide.
Oil glands are clearly visible on the underside of the leaves. The mauve
flowers are produced in the leaf axils on semi-mature growth. After
flowering the petals change colour to white then green. They remain green
and protect the seeds while they mature.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from known normal forms of Crowea
exalata in its prostrate habit. The usual height attained is 1-2m.
