and colour of style. Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' has an average of 3 lobes
per leaf compared with an average of 14 for Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'.
The perianth colour of both cultivars is the same, however the styles vary

bronze colour whilst older foliage is dark green on the upper surface and
grey on the underside with a dense covering of silky hairs. The flowers are
of the "toothbrush" type and are borne terminally on short branchlets. The
perianth is about 8mm long and is covered with dense hairs. The prominent
yellow styles are about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parent in leaf shape
and colour of styles. Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie' has wider, about 4mm and
shorter, about 10mm, lobes than Grevillea hookeriana, which had on the
specimen examined, lobes 2mm wide and up to 40mm long. This cultivar has
yellow styles compared with red for Grevillea hookeriana. Grevillea
'Poorinda Blondie' is different from Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' in number
of lobes per leaf and colour of styles. This cultivar has an average of 14
lobes per leaf compared with a average of 3 for Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'
and has yellow styles compared with pink for Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'.
The perianth colour is the same.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Emblem'
It is a large shrub growing to a height of about 3-4m by the
same width. The leaves are very deeply lobed and are about 250mm long and
about 80mm wide across the lobes. Individual lobes are pungent and about
7mm wide. The upper leaf surface is dark shiny green whilst the underside
is covered with dense silky hairs. The leaves arch downwards and tend to
twist to one side. The new foliage is very densely covered with copper
coloured hairs. The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are borne
terminally on short branches and occasionally on the main stem opposite a
leaf. The perianth is purple-red and about 12mm long and the styles, also
purple-red, are about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Poorinda Emblem' is different form Grevillea caleyi
in its leaf shape and less hairy foliage and stems. The leaf lobes are more
pointed than those of Grevillea caleyi. Flower colour is not significantly
different. It differs from Grevillea 'Poorinda Peter' in flower colour.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Emblem' has a dark red perianth while Grevillea
'Poorinda Peter' has a dark purple perianth.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Empress'
It is a large compact shrub growing to a height of 3-4m. The
leaves are extremely deeply lobed and about 120mm long by about 55mm wide
across the lobes. Individual lobes are pungent and narrow being about 3mm
wide. The upper leaf surface is dark shiny green whilst the underside is
covered with dense silky hairs. The edges of the lobes are rolled under.
The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are borne terminally on
branchlets and occasionally on the main stem opposite a leaf. The perianth
is red to purple and 10-12mm long and the deep pink styles about 30mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parents in width and
shape of the leaf lobes. Grevillea 'Poorinda Empress' has wider lobes than
Grevillea hookeriana but narrower lobes than Grevillea caleyi which has
distinctly rounded lobes. The styles are the same colour as Grevillea
caleyi but darker than Grevillea hookeriana.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Enchantment'

are of the "toothbrush" type and are produced terminally on short branches
and occasionally on the main stem opposite a leaf. The perianth is pale
pink to purple and about 8mm long while the mauve styles are up to 25mm
long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs from its stated parent in its very much
finer foliage and colour of styles. The number of lobes per leaf differs
from about 22 for Grevillea 'Poorinda Enchantment', compared with about 14
lobes per leaf for Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'. The lobes are about half
the width of those of Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'. Grevillea 'Poorinda
Enchantment' has the same coloured perianths as Grevillea 'Poorinda
Blondie' however the colour of the styles is significantly different.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Enchantment' has mauve (which colour codes to a
red-purple group) styles compared with rich yellow styles for Grevillea
'Poorinda Blondie'.
Imperata cylindrica 'ICL200'

flowers are formed in clusters and are brorne terminally on short
branchlets. The perianth is a rich deep pink and 7mm long whilst the
persistant style is bright pink and between 12-14mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from G. trinervis in that perianth is
about half the length usually seen in G. trinervis. It is different from
G. linearis in that it is smaller in size than G. linearis which usually
grows up to a height of about 3m.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Jeanie'
It is an upright shrub growing to a height of about 2m. The
leaves are entire and 15-20mm long by about 3-5mm wide with slender points.
The upper leaf surface is slightly hairy, particularly when young, while
the underside is at all times densely hairy. The leaf edges are rolled
under. The flowers are formed into small clusters borne on short
branchlets. The perianth is red and about 12mm long while the style is the
same colour but about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from Grevillea alpina in having much
less hairy leaves and stems. The leaves are also sharp pointed. The
perianths and styles are larger and longer than those usually seen in
Grevillea alpina. Grevillea 'Poorinda Jeanie' differs from Grevillea
juniperina in having wider leaves and hairs on the upper surface of the
leaves. The flowers are much broader than those of Grevillea juniperina.
