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.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'

Lechenaultia biloba 'White Flash'
A natural colour variant of Lechenaultia biloba which differs
from other forms in that it has a clear and sharp break between the white
central portion of the flower and the deep blue outer area of the petals.
The plant in the wild is an open wiry specimen but with judicious pruning
could be shaped into an attractive garden bush doing best in a light gravel
or sandy soil. Cultivar received by the Authority on 10 December 1974 from
the ANBG.
Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon'
Moderately dense shrub 1.5m in diameter with large red terminal racemes for most of the year.

Anigozanthos 'Dwarf Delight'
This cultivar is a compact plant with much branched flower
stems to .8m tall. The flowering stems are covered with plumose hairs.
These hairs are sparsely scattered at the base of the stem and around the
leaf-like bracts on the stem. The hairs are reddish in colour. The perianth
segments of the flower are green-yellow but appear apricot when seen
through the reddish hairs. These two colours contrast well. The leaves are
up to 25cm long by 1cm wide.
Diagnosis:
Anigozanthos 'Dwarf delight', which grows to 0.8m tall, is
midway in height between the ca. 0.3m of A. onycis and ca. 2m of A.
flavidus. The flowering stems of the cultivar are sparsely covered with
plumose hairs for much of their length, becoming dense towards the
individual flowers. The flowering stems of the cultivar are sparsely
covered with plumose hairs for much of their length, becoming dense towards
the individual flowers. A. onycis, is covered in dense, plumose hairs for
the full length of the flower spike while A. flavidus has them only on the
perianth segments of the flower and for a short distance below on the stem.
The majority of the stem in this species is glabrous. The leaf-like bracts
on the stem are the size of A. onycis. The flowers are intermediate in size
between those of the two parents.
