by 2m in diameter after 3 years. It forms a dense, low shrub, becoming
prostrate around the outer edges. The leaves are large, and are plus/minus

similar form is in cultivation in Adelaide, but that form grows to 60cm
high and does not form a mound but merely spreads. Myoporum 'Monaro Marvel'
may be distinguished by its central upright mounding habit and very large
leaves.

Pandorea jasminoides 'Charisma'
Note:
Originally Pandorea jasminoides 'Snow Storm'
This cultivar has an irregular venation on the leaves. In some
cases complete leaflets can be variegated while in other cases the
variegation can be smallish areas on the margins of the leaflets. Other
features of the plant are the same as P. jasminoides.
Diagnosis:
Pandorea 'Charisma' is distinguished from the normal form of
Pandorea jasminoides because of the leaf variegation.
Philotheca myoporoides 'Moon Shadow'
A hardy small to medium sized shrub with boldly variegated leaves. Grows well in full sun but prefers a moist shaded or semi shaded position. Adapts to a wide range of climates and soil types. Frost hardy. Grows to approximately 1m high x 1m across.

Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Rosy Posy'
This cultivar is a form of the dark green, fine leaved variety
of G. rosmarinifolia. It grows to ca. 1.5m tall by 1.5m wide. The leaves
are linear 30-45 mm long by 1mm wide and have a mucronate point. Leaves are
glabrous above and below with very occasional silky hairs on the mid-vein
of the leaf on the underside. The branchlets are covered with scattered
silky hairs. The flowers are ca. 20mm long. The perianth is a rosy pink
with a yellow tip. The style is a deep pink to red. The racemes are 40 to
50mm long and densely packed with flowers. Flowers can be found throughout
the year with the main flowering season being late winter to early spring.
Diagnosis:
G. rosmarinifolia varies greatly over its range. Grevillea
'Rosy Posy' is distinguished by its exceptionally large racemes of flowers.
Prostanthera lasianthos 'Mint-Ice'
The cultivar has the same general morphology as for the
species. It has grown to 2m x 1.5m since it was first selected in 1984. The
differences are that P. lasianthos 'Mint-Ice' has leaves with formal white
variegation around the borders of the leaves. The leaf blades are
irregularly variegated from pale green to white. The percentage of
variegation on each leaf also differs, with some being almost totally white
to just the leaf margin variegation. The plant is more compact than usual
and the leaves slightly smaller. No reversion of the variegation has been
noted in five years. The racemes of white flowers are more compact than
usual.
Diagnosis:
This plant is easily distinguished by the leaf variegation, with
the smaller than average leaves and more compact racemes being the
secondary considerations.
