Leptospermum polygalifolium 'Copper Glow'
A moderately open shrub to 3m tall by 2m wide after 7 years.
The young stems are reddish and the narrowly oblanceolate to narrowly
elliptical leaves are up to 20mm long by 2mm wide. They are bronze-green on
the upper surface and paler beneath. The five petalled flowers are white
and approximately 16mm diameter. The fruits are 6mm diameter with the
typical high dome of the species.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from other forms of L. polygalifolium in
having bronze-green colour to the upper surface of the leaves and reddish
stems of the new growth.
Lomandra longifolia 'Peak Alone Limeglow'
Lomandra 'Peak Alone Limeglow' grows to a height of 40 to 45cm and up to 1m across. The minute cream and brown flowers appear in September to October. The main feature of the cultivar is the extremely attractive variegated foliage.
Diagnosis:
The main difference between this cultivar and the usual form of the species is the variegation of the leaves. The variegation is reasonably regular over the leaf blade and no reversion has been noted. It is said to be a more compact plant than the usual form.
Macropidia fuliginosa 'No Black'
The growth and habit of this cultivar are well within the
usual range of growth forms of Macropidia. Flowering stems of container
grown plants are 100cm high and divaricately branched. Flowers are 45-55mm
long including stamens and up to 40mm wide when the perianth lobes reflex.
The stellate hairs on the perianth are mostly yellow green mixed with grey
orange, towards the ovary they increase in number where they become dense
overlying almost black hairs. The grey orange hairs fade with age to white
especially towards the perianth lobes. Sparse grey hairs are found on the
upper scape. Inside the perianth the lower 2 lobes in particular, at the
point where they reflex have a tinge of black amongst the glabrous shiny
dark green colouring. The black is not evident on the normal forms of
Macropidia growing at Perth Zoo. Whilst the reflexed perianth lobes curl
back as the flowers age they appear to curl back faster in this cultivar
initially at a 90 degrees angle giving the appearance of an open petaloid
flower with only a short portion of the ends of the lobes curling inwards.
Diagnosis:
Habit and form similar to the usual forms of Macropidia. Its
main distinguishing features are the unusual flower colour, predominantly
yellow/green and the open petaloid-like appearance of the maturing flowers.
Melia azedarach 'Lady Gwenda'
This cultivar differs in its variegated foliage. All other
features of the cultivar are as for M. azedarach.
Diagnosis:
The main feature of this cultivar is the variegation on most
leaves and the yellow striation on the fruits. The variegation is
irregular, with some leaflets almost totally yellow while others are the
usual green.
Lomandra hystrix 'LHBYF'
Mat Rush which grows to 1.5m – 1.8m high x 1.2m – 1.5m wide with pale yellow fragrant flower heads from September to November. Full sun to heavy shade.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Anticipation'
This cultivar grows to plus/minus 2m tall by plus/minus 2.5m
wide. It forms a moderately dense shrub with some long, spreading branches.
The leaves are deeply dissected and are 18-20cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide
at the widest point. They are glabrous above and covered with fine, pale
coloured hairs below. The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are
borne terminally on the branches. The inflorescences are pinkish in colour
and are one sided as are the flowers of Grevillea longifolia. The racemes
of flowers are plus/minus 8cm long.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Poorinda Anticipation' has the typical habit of G. willisii
, being moderately dense with some long, spreading branches. The leaves are
intermediate between the parents, having the alternate lobing of G.
longifolia, but the greater width and more deeply dissected leaves of G.
willisii. Each lobe is tipped with a pungent point, similar to those found
on G. willisii.
Comparators:

material) NBG registered No. 70050.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Joyce'
This cultivar grows to around .7m tall by up to .75m wide with
medium dense grey green foliage. The leaves are ca. 10mm long by 2mm wide,
glabrous on the upper surface and densley covered with hair on the lower
surface. The leaf margins produced in sparse clusters, and the perianth
tube is ca. 10mm long. They are deep pink in colour, grading to an ivory
colour on the perianth limb. The styles are deep pink and ca. 20mm long.
Flowering is from August to October.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from its parents in having narrower leaves
than G. alpina but wider than Victorian forms of G lavandulacea. The flower
colour is similar to some forms of G. lavandulacea. The flower colour is
similar to some forms of G. lavandulacea but markely different to G. alpina
. Grevillea 'Poorinda Joyce" is a hybrid with the same parents as
Grevillea 'Poorinda Rosy Morn' and Grevillea ' Poorinda Joyce' are slightly
smaller in size than those of Grevillea 'Poorinda Joyce' differs from
Grevillea 'Poorinda Tranquility by being smaller in total size and leaf
size. The flowers are similar in both cultivars, however Grevillea
'Poorinda Joyce' is darker in colour.
