Eremophila 'Beryl's Gem'
Dense shrub, 1.8m (h) x 1m (w)
Flowers: Deep pink, 20mm x 8mm, from Aug-Oct
Foliage colour: Greyish green
Comparators:
Eremophila calorhabdos, E. splendens
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Thought to be a hybrid between Eremophila
calorhabdos and E. splendens. Eremophila ‘Beryl's Gem’ is a compact shrub
whereas E. calorhados is quite open and upright and E. splendens has orange
flowers.
Eremophila biserrata 'Magic Carpet'
Dense groundcover with upright leaves, 30mm x 3m in diameter, flowers large, burgundy brown, slightly bulbous, 25-30mm. Flowering period: Spring to autumn and intermittent throughout the year
Leaves - upright, dull grey green
Comparators:
Thought to be a Eremophila biserrata hybrid. Eremophila biserrata is a ground hugging prostrate plant with
dark green serrated leaves which grow closely together along the stems of the plant. The corolla is yellow-green with purple strip along the top of the tube. Flowering time is from late spring to mid-summer.
Eremophila 'Summertime Blue'
Large dense intricate shrub, 2m x 3m, flowers lilac with a white throat, 25-30mm, summer
Diagnosis: ntermediate between the two suggested parents.
Comparators:
Eremophila divaricata is a medium intricate shrub with small purple blue flowers while Eremophila polyclada is a large open shrub with white flowers.
Eremophila 'Pink Pantha'
Dense upright shrub, 2m (h) x 2.5m (w), leaves: grey, flowers: buds orange/yellow, petals deep pink, 25mm x 20mm, Aug-Nov. Possibly an E glabra hybrid crossed with either E compacta or E nivea. Both the flower colour and size is unusual for Eremophila glabra.
Eremophila maculata 'Aurea'
This cultivar grows into a compact, low shrub from .6m to .9m
in height by up to 1m wide. The flowers are found in spring and are yellow,
tubular, with consipicious red spots in the throat of the flowers. The
flowers are plus/minus 30mm in length. The buds before they open are also
quite conspicuous. While young they are green yellow turning to yellow just
before they open. The buds contrast well against the bright green glossy
foliage. The flowers are axillary and are borne prolifically.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs form the more usual form of Eremophila
maculata in its lower and more compact form and its yellow flowers.
Eremophila maculata 'Carmine Star'
This cultivar is a prostrate to decumbent shrub .5m tall by 1
to 2m wide. The non-interlacing branches are purplish in colour, turning
yellow brown as they age. The branches are warty in appearance and
otherwise glabrous. The leaves are narrow elliptic in shape. The flowers
are solitary and carmine in colour while inside they are rose coloured but
marked with prominent carmine spots except at the tips of the lobes. The
lobes have long white wispy hairs up to 9mm long. The flowering season in
Adelaide is from October to November.
Diagnosis:
E. maculata 'Carmine Star' can be distinguished from the common
form of E. maculata in eastern Australia by it's decumbent sprawling habit
with non-interlacing branches.
Other notes:
The cultivar is widespread in cultivation in Adelaide at the
time of writing (May 1985). It has good drought resistance but may burn in
heavier frosts. It is also known to be tolerant of humidity. Vegetative
means must be used to preserve the cultivar form.
Eucryphia lucida 'Pink Cloud'
The plant from which the material was selected was about 16m
tall. However, as with other forms of Eucryphia lucida when grown in
cultivation, it will most likely only attain a height of 5 to 7m. The
flowers, which occur in the summer months are a soft pink deepening to rose
in the centre of the flower. They are 4cm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
The flower colour is the distinguishing feature of this cultivar
being pink instead of white as is usual with E. lucida.
Dianella tasmanica 'TAS100'
Strappy leaved suckering shrub with variegated leaves to about 0.3m in diameter.
Callistemon 'Starlight'
A large rounded shrub to 4m high x 4m across; leaves to 5cm x
1.5 cm, lanceolate, glabrous when mature, ending in short slightly pungent
point; flower spikes to 10cm x 6 cm, white, terminal, usually solitary.
Flowering late spring and summer.
Diagnosis:
Callistemon ‘Starlight’ differs from ‘Reeve's Pink’ in flower
colour. It is much larger than either C. ‘Clearview White’ (sprawling
habit) or C. viminalis ‘Wilderness White’ (weeping form).
Callistemon citrinus 'White Anzac'
This cultivar is a sprawling shrub to 1m tall by 3m across.
The leaves are about 6cm long by 1cm wide and are lanceolate in shape. The
flowers are a pure white, often in inflorescence clusters of three, aging
to a creamy white. The inflorescences are from 10 to 15cm long by 6cm in
diameter. The flowering season is from November to January.
Diagnosis:
C. citrinus varies markedly both in size and flower colour in
natural populations. Callistemon 'White Anzac' can be distinguished by its
low sprawling habit and white flowers. While examining this cultivar,
another similar C. citrinus cultivar was found - Callistemon 'Moonbeam'.
Callistemon 'Moonbeam' was submitted to ACRA by Mr W Cane of
Maffra,Victoria, in April 1964. In later correspondence (February 1978). Mr
Cane remembers "collecting a white flowered C. citrinus near Anzac Cove, it
was a low growing form and came into the trade after it left me as C.
citrinus 'Anzac'". The specimen of Callistemon 'Moonbeam' clearly indicates
in Mr Canes's handwriting that it was collected near a large hospital on
Anzac Cove. Specimens and descriptions of both these cultivars match very
closely and it is highly likely that they are the same clonal material.
Even if they are not, the form and flower colour warrant being regarded as
the same cultivar. Therefore, any material being grown under the names C
'Anzac', C. citrinus 'Anzac', C 'Moonbeam' or C. citrinus 'Moonbeam' should
now be known as Callistemon 'White Anzac'. It would be normal practice to
use the original name of Callistemon 'Moonbeam' but this name does not
appear to be widely accepted or used to any degree. Callistemon 'White
Anzac' has been widely marketed under that name, therefore Article 46 of
the Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants has been instigated. This
Article allows the retention of the name in common usage if the use of a
previous name would lead to confusion.
