Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Christmas Snow'
Diagnosis:
C. 'Christmas Snow' differ from other known forms of the species
in the variegation of its leaves. The variegation i is of the "blotched"
variety, with irregular patches of cream varying from 3-5% of leaf surface.
Some minor variegation also occurs; these are pale greyish green patches
and are not strongly discernable.
Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Festival'
Small dense tree. Flowers: small, creamy white in terminal panicles. Sepals: white at first (Nov), ripening (mid Dec) to deep red on inside of sepal, and rose red on outside of sepal.
Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Magenta Star'
This cultivar is a shrub to 3.5m tall by 3m wide. The new
growth is a dark magenta-purple which gradually fades as the leaves age.
The undersides of the leaves are a darker colour than the upper surfaces,
and the leaf margins hold the colouration even when the leaf ages. The
midveins of the leaves are a prominent red when the leaves are young and
these change to a prominent greenish-yellow as the leaves age.
Diagnosis:
The purplish appearance of the new growth is the most
distinctive feature of this cultivar; in usual forms it is green.
Chamelaucium 'Blondie'
Shrub with red buds and white flowers.
Selection Criteria: hardy, vigorous, early flowering, floral characteristics, very long flowering and very long vase life.
Chamelaucium 'Bridal Pearl'
Medium shrub with white flowers. Early flowering selection. Selection criteria: vigour, floriferousness, stem length, flower colour and date of flowering.
Chamelaucium 'Bridal Pearl'
Medium shrub with white flowers. Early flowering selection. Selection criteria: vigour, floriferousness, stem length, flower colour and date of flowering.
Pimelea nivea 'Standup Point'
This cultivar forms a very compact shrub from 0.6m to 1.5m
tall by up to 2m wide. The leaves are said to be broader and glossier than
those of the usual form. It flowers very freely from October to December in
Tasmania. Flowerheads are up to 35mm across, which is slightly larger than
usual, with individual flowers 8-10mm long and white in colour.
Diagnosis:
This form can be distinguished from the more usual form of the
species by its compact nature, glossier surface of the leaves and larger
flower heads. It is more compact due to the short internodes spaces.
Philotheca verrucosa 'Kangaroo Gully Crimson'
This selection is a low shrub (40-90cm high by 25-60cm wide).
Young plants are compact with dense foliage, becoming more open as the
plant ages. The flowers are profuse and ca. 1.5cm diameter. Flowering is in
August/September.
Diagnosis:
P. verrucosa'Kangaroo Gully Crimson' is distinguished from P.
verrucosa by its much stronger flower colour.
Correa 'Ivory Dancer'
Vigorous shrub to c. 1.5 m x 2 m with a dense habit.
Branchlets sparsely tomentose with rust coloured stellate hairs. Simple
elliptical leaves, 23 mm x 16 mm, petioles to 0.5 mm. Leaf apices obtuse,
leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins entire, lamina curves into
convex shape. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and glabrous to
scabridulous with occasional stellate hairs. Upper surfaces of young leaves
sparsely tomentose with white stellate hairs and occasional rust-coloured
stellate hairs. Lower surfaces tomentose with minute white stellate hairs
and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming more concentrated on
the veins. Calyx tomentose with rust coloured stellate hairs, pedicels to 4
mm. Corolla cylindrical 23 mm x 8 mm, ivory-white, petals strongly reflexed
(spreading lobes). Anthers exerted, narrow oblong, obtuse. Peak flowering
is from April to August in most districts.
Diagnosis:
The leaves of this cultivar conform to descriptions for C.
reflexa var. reflexa, except for the oblique bases and petioles to 5 mm
which conforms to C. pulchella. The flower has an affinity to C. pulchella
because of its spreading lobes and single colour. It is a taller shrub than
the range (1 m) given for C. pulchella by Wilson (1998). The cultivar is
distinctive because of its white flower colour which is different from
other C. reflexa x C. pulchella hybrids such as C. 'Dusky Bells', C. 'Pink
Mist' and C. 'Mannii'. The cultivar varies from C. 'Ivory Bells' in
parentage (C. alba var. alba x C. backhouseana) and in leaf size.
