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.

Correa 'Bett's Red'
It is a large open shrub growing to a height of about 1.5m by
about 2m wide. The leaves are up to 20mm long by about 10mm wide. The upper
surface is rough to the touch while the underside is rusty to light green
in colour and covered with matted woolly hairs. The younger stems are also
rough. The deep pink flowers are tubular and 35mm long. The colour is
slightly paler at the tips. The tips of the floral tube are partially
reflexed. The style and stamens protrude about 5mm beyond the rim of the
floral tube. It is reported to flower freely from March to October.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its assumed parents in size of
plant, flower colour and roughness of leaves, stems and flowers. Correa
'Bett's Red', growing to a height of about 1.5m, is larger than Correa
'Mannii' which usually grows up to 500mm. Correa'Bett's Red' has darker
pink flowers than Correa 'Mannii' and the roughness of the leaves, stems
and flowers of Correa 'Bett's Red' is much greater that shown by Correa
'Mannii'. Correa 'Bett's Red' is different from Correa reflexa in flower
colour and shape of the floral tube. Correa 'Bett's Red' has deep pink
flowers compared with red and/or green for Correa reflexa. The floral tube
also does not reflex to the same extent usually seen in Correa reflexa.
Correa reflexa var. speciosa 'Fat Fred'
This cultivar is a very large flowered form of the species.
The flowers are quite squat, measuring plus/minus 30mm overall by
plus/minus 13mm in diameter. The upper part of the corolla tube is red
while the tips are a clear green yellow. All other characteristics of the
cultivar fit within the known range of variation of C. reflexa var.
speciosa.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar can be distinguished by its very large flowers.
Correa 'Betty Fawcett'
The cultivar is a medium dense shrub that grows to 1.0m x 2m.
The foliage is dark green. The flowers are pink and yellow to 25mm long by
8mm wide. It flowers in Autumn and Spring.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is very similar to Correa 'Marian's Marvel'. The
flowers are very similar though Correa 'Marion's Marvel' has more area of
yellow at the base of the bell. The foliage also differs somewhat, with the
leaves of Correa 'Betty Fawcett' having deep indentations where the leaves
occur on the leaf blade.
