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.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'
It is a dense shrub growing to a height of about 1.5m by about
2m wide. The leaves are often up to 100m long and are usually lobed. The
width of the leaves at their widest is about 30mm. New growth is an
attractive bronze colour whilst the upper surface of the older leaves is
dark shiny green. The underside is covered with dense silky hairs. The
flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are borne terminally on short
branches. Occasionally flowers are produced on the stem opposite a leaf.
The perianth is smoky pink with a prominent style which graduates to yellow
at the tip. Individual flowers are aobut 10mm long and the styles 25mm
long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parent in leaf shape
and colour of style. Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' has an average of 3 lobes
per leaf compared with an average of 14 for Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'.
The perianth colour of both cultivars is the same, however the styles vary
from pink in Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' to yellow in Grevillea 'Poorinda
Blondie'.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'
It is a large shrub growing to a height of about 4m by 5m
wide. The leaves are long and narrow and very deeply lobed. Each lobe is
pungent. The average number of lobes per leaf on the specimen examined is
14. The leaves are about 120mm long and up to 40mm wide across the lobes.
Occasionally entire leaves are produced. New foliage exhibits an attractive
bronze colour whilst older foliage is dark green on the upper surface and
grey on the underside with a dense covering of silky hairs. The flowers are
of the "toothbrush" type and are borne terminally on short branchlets. The
perianth is about 8mm long and is covered with dense hairs. The prominent
yellow styles are about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parent in leaf shape
and colour of styles. Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie' has wider, about 4mm and
shorter, about 10mm, lobes than Grevillea hookeriana, which had on the
specimen examined, lobes 2mm wide and up to 40mm long. This cultivar has
yellow styles compared with red for Grevillea hookeriana. Grevillea
'Poorinda Blondie' is different from Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' in number
of lobes per leaf and colour of styles. This cultivar has an average of 14
lobes per leaf compared with a average of 3 for Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'
and has yellow styles compared with pink for Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'.
The perianth colour is the same.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Emblem'
It is a large shrub growing to a height of about 3-4m by the
same width. The leaves are very deeply lobed and are about 250mm long and
about 80mm wide across the lobes. Individual lobes are pungent and about
7mm wide. The upper leaf surface is dark shiny green whilst the underside
is covered with dense silky hairs. The leaves arch downwards and tend to
twist to one side. The new foliage is very densely covered with copper
coloured hairs. The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are borne
terminally on short branches and occasionally on the main stem opposite a
leaf. The perianth is purple-red and about 12mm long and the styles, also
purple-red, are about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Poorinda Emblem' is different form Grevillea caleyi
in its leaf shape and less hairy foliage and stems. The leaf lobes are more
pointed than those of Grevillea caleyi. Flower colour is not significantly
different. It differs from Grevillea 'Poorinda Peter' in flower colour.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Emblem' has a dark red perianth while Grevillea
'Poorinda Peter' has a dark purple perianth.
