Lomandra confertifolia 'Merlom Ruby'
Mat Rush: clumping plant grows 0.4m(H) x 0.3m(w) with blue grey leaves.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Bunyip'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra confertifolia 'LCS1'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes. Comparitors: L. 'Mist', L. 'Merlon Ruby', L. Seascape', L. 'Silver Grace'. Diagnosis: Lomandra confertifolia 'LCS1' is a short to medium dense grasslike perennial with more and longer inflorescences than other most similar varieties.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Lime Tuff'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Silver Grace'
A clumping grass-like perennial with blue-grey arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
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.
Kunzea 'Badja Carpet'
It is a dense prostrate plant spreading up to 4m and reaching
a height of 600mm. The dark green leaves are small being up to 7mm long by
3mm wide. New stems are dark red in colour. The white flowers are produced
terminally in small clusters on short branchlets. New growth originates
from the centre of the flower cluster.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different form the known normal forms of
Kunzea capitata in its prostrate habit and white flowers. Kunzea capitata
is usually an erect or rounded shrub to1.5m in height with mauve flowers.
Melaleuca 'Ballarkona'
Large open shrub to 5m in diameter with linear, crowded, dark
green leaves and flowerheads on lateral growths usually 80-100mm long x
30mm in diameter, cream.
Diagnosis:
Melaleuca 'Ballarkona' may be a hybrid with one parent likely to
be M. armillaris. At around 5 metres in diameter M. 'Ballarkona' has the
appearance of a smaller form of M. armillaris which generally grows to
between 4-10 metres high by 2-8 metres in diameter. The smaller growth
habit is combined with much larger flowers which are produced prolifically
in spring mostly between 80-100 mm x 30 mm in diameter as opposed to the
standard M. armillaris flowers which are approximately 30-60mm x 20-25mm in
diameter.
Philotheca verrucosa 'J. Semmens'
This cultivar grows to 0.6m tall by 0.6m wide and its foliage
is often sparse. The flowers are 15mm to 25mm across and consist of three
layers of petals which surround petaloid stamens. The flowering season is
August to October. All other characteristics of the cultivar are as for P.
verrucosa.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar can be easily distinguished from the usual form of
P. verrucosa by the multi-petalled flowers.
Diagnosis:
Other multi-petalled forms of P. verrucosa have been recorded,
but material is not available for examination for difference. Written
descriptions of the various forms appear similiar.
