multi-branched shrub
multi-branched shrub
flowers ca. 8-9mm diameter
flowers ca. 5mm diameter
considerable leaf drop after flowering.
less leaf drop after flowering.
The cultivar is more resistant to Boronia rust disease, is more floriferous
and the flowers are held on the plant for a longer period of time. The last
factor extends the flowering season by some weeks.

throughout the year. The flowers are deep burnt orange in colour. The

less sparse covering of appressed white hairs; lower surface with an
indumentum of dense white appressed hairs. Flowers occur in terminal,
crowded cylindrical inflorescences c.9-16 cm long; perianth c.11-12mm long,
3-4 mm wide, outer surface with an open indumentum of wavy white hairs,
inner surface smooth and glabrous; limb bright yellow with similar
indumentum to perianth. Pistil 33-36 mm long; ovary sessile, covered in
dense white semi-appressed hairs; nectary prominent, bright yellow, with a
margin of deeply incised triangular lobes; style glabrous, shortly curved
above the small pollen presenter
Diagnosis:

burnt orange.
Grevillea 'Ladelle'
Shrub to 5m, spreading to 4m. Flowering is almost continuous
throughout the year. Flowers occur in terminal crowded cylindrical
inflorescences c. 11-15cm long x 5cm diameter; perianth 10mm long x 3-4mm
wide, outer surface has a moderately dense indumentum of appressed and

smooth and glabrous. The limb is covered in dense, erect wavy white hairs.
The pistil is 32-38mm long; ovary sessile, covered in dense flattened white
hairs; nectary prominent, burgundy in colour, with a prominently scalloped
margin; style glabrous with a prominent hoof-like pollen- presenter. The
foliage is open and is grey-green in colour. Leaves are pinnately divided
into c.7-9 sub-opposite lobes; lobes linear -lanceolate c. 4-9mm wide,
40-8-mm long; overall leaf length c.11-17cm. Young leaves are grey-green on
upper surface with an indumentum of semi-appressed white hairs most of
which are shed on maturity. Mature leaves are dark green on the upper
surface. The lower surface has a dense appressed indumentum of silvery
white hairs.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parent Grevillea 'Misty
Pink' by the deeper colour of the flowers. Its closest comparator is
Grevillea 'Sylvia' which is also a much paler pink.
Grevillea 'Flame 'n Beauty'
A dense spreading, shrub 0.6-1 m high 1.5-2 m wide. Branchlets
ascending, round in cross-section, slender, densely white-velvety. Leaves
2-4.5 cm long, 1.5-4.5 cm wide, obovate in outline, secund, 3–5-sect,
usually with trisect secondary division; primary leaf lobes 3-5, ultimate
lobes 0.5-2 cm long, 1-1.5 mm wide, stiff, pungent, upper surface
grey-green, texture leathery. Flowers:
buds whitish-green, perianth pale
yellow outside ageing white, the inner tepals reddish above the curve; the
limb creamy-white; style and style-end red; pollen-presenter whitish-pink.
The overall appearance of the flower is a peach colour aging to pink.
Flowering occurs from May through to December.
Diagnosis:
G. asparagoides differs in its open, cylindrical inflorescences
and perianths up to 5 mm wide and with a dense indumentum of glandular
hairs. G. calliantha has leaves to 7.5 cm long with 5-7 lobes, longer
floral bracts (>2 mm long) and perianths lacking glandular hairs. Flower
colour is a blend of both parents.

lacking secondary division.
