Actinotus helianthi 'White Romance'
A tall thin selection with large flowers. Herbaceous shrub to 0.9m(h) x 0.3m(w) variable with pale grey hairy leaves and the daisylike flower heads are greenish and the petal like bracts are cream to white with greenish tips which are 30mm in diameter. . Flowering occurs in spring
Agonis flexuosa 'Belbra Gold'
This cultivar is a leaf colour form of Agonis flexuosa
(Spreng) Schau. It is a dense shrub that grows to ca. 5m tall by 5m wide.
As the leaves first appear they have a reddish tinge but this quickly
changes to a pale yellow forming a golden crown on the plant. As the leaves
mature there is once again a colour change, as they revert to green or a
pale yellow mottled with green. Shortly after this last change the mature
leaves are dropped from the plant. When viewed from a short distance the
plant is a distinct golden colour. The colour of the foliage can be
affected by the amount of light intensity. The golden colour is more
pronounced during summer months in full light. The other features of the
cultivar correspond with those of Agonis flexuosa.
Diagnosis:
A. 'Belbra Gold' is readily distinguished from the usual A.
flexuosa by its foliage colour and its ultimate height, the cultivar only
growing to 5m. It can be distinguished easily from A. flexuosa 'Variegata'
as the variegation is different. A. flexuosa 'Variegata' has leaves with
yellow margins and a green centre as compared to all yellow or yellow
mottled green of A. 'Belbra Gold'.
Comparators:
Agonis flexuosa 'Variegata' (ACRA Number 4) held at
the Herbarium, National Botanic Gardens, Canberra.
Agonis flexuosa 'Marks Mini'
A compact dwarf form of Agonis flexuosa and white flowers in Summer.
Agonis flexuosa 'Midnight Shadow'
Compact small tree or large shrub with weeping dark burgundy new growth which turns deep green as it matures. Flowers white in Summer. Diagnosis: Differs from Agonis flexuosa ‘Jervis Bay After Dark’ in that while new growth is the same dark burgundy the mature leaves are yellow green.
Alyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem'
Compact shrub, 2.0–3.5 m (h) x 2.0–4 m (w); flowers 80–100 mm across x about same long, deep bluish-purple, can be produced most of year but especially Spring to Autumn; leaves 70–120 mm long x about same, palmate with slender petiole, broadly 5-lobed green.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'
A compact medium sized variety, forming a good sized clump. Bold red larger flowers mainly in spring and summer, spot flowering at other times, bird attracting and great cut flowers. Very good in Mediterranean climates, not as vigorous in humid climates where they are best grown in pots.

Hypocalymma cordifolium 'Golden Veil'
The cultivar can be expected to grow to a height of about 1m
with a spread of about the same. The small variegated heart shaped sessile
leaves are about 8mm long and wide. They are produced opposite each other
on minutely winged stems. These stems are bright pink while the new growth
is young.
DIAGNOSIS:Hypocalymma 'Golden Veil' is different from the normal form the
species in its leaf variegation. The leaves have an irregular cream margin.
The centre of the leaf is green.
Grevillea 'Jester'
This cultivar is a moderately dense spreading shrub to 3 m. It
grows 2 to 2.5 m tall. The leaves are green above and much paler below.
Flowers appear all year. Rhachis is 12-14 cm, long whorled form densely
packed terminal. Each flower is 3-4 cm long and the style is deep
orange-red; perianth tube is 1 cm long and pale orange outside and deeper
on curved lobes. Light rose perfume. Leaves are grey, silky long, appressed
and deeply lobed with a pungent mucronate tip; 20-21 cm long with recurved
edges; leaf segments are angled upwards. Similar to 'Robyn Gordon'.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Jester': Rachis 12-14cm. Leaves 20-21cm long,
recurved margins;silky-grey appressed hairs and deeply lobed pungent
mucronate tip. Flowers orange with deeper orange-red style. It is similar
to G. 'Robyn Gordon'. Habit 2-2.5x3m and flowers all year.
G. 'Coconut Ice':
Rachis 12-17cm. Leaves 10-15cm spreading, arching , dark
green, shiny, deeply divided, Linear-lanceolate, apex mucronate. Flowers
red-pink with dark red styles. Habit 1-1.5m x .5-1.5m and flowers all year.
G. 'Honey Gem':
Rachis 10-16cm long. Leaves to 30cm, deeply divided and
dark green above, grey below. Margins revolute and apex acuminate. Flowers
apricot with yellow styles. Habit 3-6 x 2-4m with flowers July through
December , some sporadic.
Grevillea 'Red Hooks'
A rounded, dense shrub up to 3m high by 4-5m across, with more
or less horizontal branches. The bright green leaves are pinnately lobed,
with narrow-linear lobes to about 30 mm. Overall leaf length is up to 15cm.
The bright red, toothbrush-like racemes are usually held horizontally and
are about 70mm long. They appear for most of the year but give a maximum
display in winter and spring. The perianth is greyish green and the long,
smooth style is bright red and tends to bend backwards.
Diagnosis:
The herbarium specimen is quite different to either supposed
parent. G. 'Red Hooks' has 10 deep lobes in each leaf. Each lobe is 1-2 cm
wide and revolute. Each lobe is up to 4cm long. G. tetragonoloba has deeply
divided leaves with 3 lobes each revolute, length 2cm. G. longifolia has
flowers not as dense as the other two with taller styles but these are very
prominent. Leaves are 15.5cm long.
