Chrysocephalum baxteri 'Midget'
Leafy, compact, low shrub, 15cm high by 30cm wide, with very
small white everlasting flowerheads with yellow discs. As the shrub matures
it develops woody basal stems. Leaves 1.5-4mm long by 0.75mm wide,
alternate, sessile, recurved, apex obtuse. Upper surfaces of leaves
glabrous, lower surface tomentose, flowering stem 5-7cm long, flowerhead
10-15mm across. The rays are fringed. Flowerheads are solitary and
terminal. Flowering period is spring followed by a brief second period of
blooms in January when flowerheads are smaller. Outer involucral bracts are
tan in colour.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar has all the characteristics of the usual forms of
C. baxteri but is distinguished by the diminutive size of all the
characters of the plant - leaves, rays, flowerhead and fruit.
Crowea saligna 'PPCS1'
Small shrub with pink star flowers in Autumn and Winter. Spontaneous mutation: a sport appeared from Crowea saligna that had larger leaves and a taller height.
Dianella caerulea 'DBB03'
A small clumping plant 50cm high x 40cm wide with blue strappy leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DC101'
A small clumping plant 50cm high x 40cm wide with red basal leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DC150'
A small clumping plant 0.3m(h) x 0.4m(w) with blue strappy leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DCMP01'
A small clumping plant 0.4m(h) x 0.4m(w) with strappy leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DCNCO'
strappy leaved shrub which grows to about 0.7m in diameter with blue and yellow flowers and purple fruit.
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.

Agonis flexuosa 'Denmark Delight'
Note:
Specimen received as Agonis Nana Superior Form
This cultivar is a very dense dwarf form growing to ca. 1.7m tall by up to 2m wide. The branchlets are pendulous at a very early age, with the leaves being of similar size to the common form of A. flexuosa. The stems are reddish and the new growth is pink to red. The cultivar has
not been seen to flower.
Diagnosis:
There are a number of cultivars that have arisen from A. flexuosa. A. flexuosa 'Fairy Foliage' is very distinct because of its very reduced leaf blade and A. flexuosa 'Variegata' by its variegated foliage. A. flexuosa 'Nana' is probably the closest to A. flexuosa 'Denmark Delight'
but the two can easily be distinguished as A. flexuosa 'Nana' grows up to 3m tall and has much wider leaves.
