metres high by 600mm wide. Delicate small rounded leaves. Flowers white
(with pink buds) approximately 10-15mm in diameter in October. Fruit a
cylindrical berry, 40-80 mms long, 15-25mm in diameter, mottled green/brown
to black when fully ripe with clean smooth skin. Flesh is tangerine/red.
Note:
the flesh/vescicles becomes darker when exposed to air for several
hours.

2.5-3 metres high by1.3 metres wide. Axillary spines solitary, straight to
25mm long. Leaves are simple, obovate to elliptic, glabrous. Flowers white
approximately 10-15mm in diameter, from July-September. Fruit a cylindrical
berry, 4-8 cms long, 15-25mm in diameter. Variation of skin colour green to
brown & pink, vescicles from clear to different shades of pink.
Diagnosis:
CITRUS australasica ‘Pink Ice’ is a medium growing selection
which bears fruit with vescicles varying from clear/translucent, to deep
pink.
Correa 'Coconut Ice'
Correa ‘Coconut Ice’ is a spreading evergreen shrub which grows to approximately 1m high by 2m wide. Foliage is of moderate density.
Leaves cordate, 15-25 mm long x 10-20 mm wide. Flowers 2 - 2.5 cm long, petals tightly recurved, pale pink with cream tips. Flowering time is from
May to October.
Diagnosis:
The flower length (2 - 2.5 cm) is shorter than C. reflexa but longer than C. alba. The colour (pale pink with cream tips) also sets it
apart from both parent species. The degree of flaring of the corolla lobes is intermediate between these species.
Correa 'Mama Maria'
The mature plant is 60 cm x 1. 5 m with a rounded shape and is very compact and dense. Leaves simple narrow elliptical, dark-green, 32 mm x 10 mm, petioles 5 mm, leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate but barely visible, margins entire. Calyx hemispherical 4 mm x 3
mm, green coloured with scattered tiny rust-coloured stellate hairs and minutely toothed, pedicels to 3 mm. Corolla cylindrical 14 mm from calyx to tip, rose pink covered with rose-coloured stellate hairs with pale green tips. Stamens strongly exerted with oblong yellow anthers with longitudinal
dehiscence and pale green filaments. Style green, slightly shorter than the stamens. Flowering begins in February and continues through autumn.
Diagnosis:
This plant has an affinity to both parent plants. The flower colour is a brighter pink than either parent plant and C. 'Mama Maria' has pale green tips unlike C. 'Dusky Bells' which has uniform pink throughout the length of the corolla but like C. decumbens which has green tips. Flowers stand out
horizontally from stems in this hybrid while C. decumbens has flowers which stand upright and at a number of angles on stems and C. 'Dusky Bells' has flowers which hang down from stems. Leaves are an intergrade between the two parent plants, having the narrow elliptical shape of C. decumbens although longer and wider.
Correa 'Federation Belle'
A small rounded shrub approximately 30 - 40 cm x 1m. Leaves
dark-green, glabrous and slightly scabrous, cordate, 33 mm x 24 mm. Corolla
cylindrical 28 mm x 13 mm, rose pink becoming pale green towards tips.
Corolla tips barely reflexed. Flowering begins in late February and
continues through autumn and early winter.
Diagnosis:
Initially Correa ‘Federation Belle’ appeared to have some
similarities to C. Marion’s Marvel however it is now clear that it has a
closer affinity to C. reflexa var speciosa.
Correa 'Federation Belle' has a much larger flower than the forms of C.
reflexa var speciosa which were growing in the garden at Mole River
Station.
Correa 'Pink Frost'
Low shrub to c. 0.4 m x 0.4 m with a moderately dense habit.
Leaves dark-green, scabrous, cordate, 24 mm x 15 mm. Corolla cylindrical 23
mm x 5 mm, rose pink. Corolla splits almost to calyx with age, giving
impression of a flared bell. Corolla tips strongly reflexed. Flowering is
from May to September in most districts with peak flowering in August.
Diagnosis:
Similar to C. aemula in leaf shape and surface characteristics,
slender pedicels, calyx with acuminate lobes and splitting corolla. Similar
to C. pulchella in flower colour, uniformity of colour on corolla and
strongly reflexed petal tips. This hybrid is unusual and is not similar to
any other registered cultivars.
Correa 'Ivory Bells'
A small dense shrub it grows to 1-2m x 2-3m. Flowers are 2.5
cm long, ivory to tan with recurved lobes. The leaves are 3cm x 2cm
elliptic to ovate, dull dark green and glabrous above, pale greenish tan
and hairy below. Its main flowering is from June to December but also
sporadic flowers can occur.
Diagnosis:
The floral tube of Correa alba is split into 4 separate segments
and the flowers are upright. C. backhouseana has tubular flowers that
occasionally split and they are pendulous. Correa 'Ivory Bells' has semi
pendulous flowers. The flower colour is the distinguishing feature of the
cultivar.
Acmena smithii 'DOW30'
Small tree to 5m x 3m with lime green new growth and dense foliage. Flowers white in summer.
Grevillea 'TWD01'
Low shrub 0.5m(h) x 0.8m(w) with red flowers. Comparitor: G. 'New Blood' Diagnosis: Grevillea 'TWD01' has has an open procumbent growth habit and has larger leaves.
Grevillea 'White Knight'
Grevillea ‘White Knight’ is a rounded shrub growing to approximately 1 metre high. It has creamy white flowers that occur during winter and spring. ‘White Knight’ is a hardy shrub with vivid green foliage.
