Eucryphia lucida 'Ballerina'
The general morphology of the cultivar is as for the species,
but the flower size, at 3cm, is towards the larger end of those recorded
for the species. The flowers are shaded from very pale pink inside to
darker pink edges with crimson stamens.
Diagnosis:
The colour of the flowers is similar to those of E. lucida
'Pink Cloud', but the stamens are crimson, giving the appearance of a
crimson centre.
Grevillea 'Pink Surprise'
Leaves are compound and shiny green on the upper surface. Each
leaf consists of + 20 long narrow lobes, occasionally these being
subdivided into two. Some lobes end in a small hooked point, others in a
straight point. The overall length of a leaf is + 30cm and the width +
10cm. Individual lobes are about 10cm long and 2-4mm wide. The leaf edges
are rolled under. Flowers are pink with long cream to very pale green
styles. Flowers are about 15cm long and approximately 5cm wideand produced
in dense terminal racemes. Individual flowers are borne in tight pairs and
are woolly. Perianth tube and limb together measure about 1.3cm long,
styles are up to 3.5 cm long.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Pink Surprise' can be distinguished from its parents by its
pink flower colour
Callistemon pachyphyllus 'Smoked Salmon'
In cultivation the cultivar is slightly more compact than the
type and attains a height of 1.5m. All morphological characteristics of the
cultivar are as for C. pachyphyllus. The flowers are a salmony pink to
shell pink in colour and are plus/minus 8cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide. It
is stated that in Brisbane this cultivar has some flowers for most of the
year with two main flowering peaks, in summer and from autumn to early
winter. The flowers during the summer months are slightly paler in colour.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from the normal red and green flowering
forms of C. pachyphyllus in the salmon pink to shell pink colour of its
flowers.
Westringia fruticosa 'Morning Light'
This cultivar grows to 1m tall by up to 1m wide. It is a relatively compact shrub. The leaves are variegated, and the variegation is fairly consistent, in the form of a narrow band around the margin of the leaf. The flowering is not as prolific as it is for the usual form of the species.
Diagnosis:
Westringia 'Morning Light' is easily distinguished because of the variegated foliage.
Xerochrysum bracteatum 'Golden Bowerbird'
Xerochrysum 'Golden Bowerbird' forms a shrub plus/minus 40cm
tall by 70cm wide and has foliage very similar to both parents. The foliage
is grey in appearance due to the heavy tomentum covering the leaves. The
inflorescences of the cultivar are carried plus/minus 10cm above the
foliage and are up to 10cm across, through more commonly are 9cm across.
They are larger than the inflorescences of both the parents. The bracts are
numerous, averaging 300 per inflorescence, compared with 80 in Bracteantha
'Dargan Hill Monarch' and 200 in Xerochrysum 'Cockatoo'. This gives a
"doubled" appearance to the inflorescence. The buds are brown in colour and
open to reveal clear yellow bracts and golden orange disc florets. The
florets are plus/minus 2.5cm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
Xerochrysum 'Golden Bowerbird' is easily distinguished from both
the parent forms by its much larger inflorescences, the far more numerous
ray florets, and the bush is smaller and more compact than either of the
parents. It is also a much brighter gold in colour than Xerochrysum
'Cockatoo'.

Xerochrysum 'Cockatoo' CBG 7911034.
Grevillea 'Pink Parfait'
This cultivar grows into a slender shrub of ca. 4m tall. The
leaves are very similar in shape to G. bankisii being ca.12cm long by ca.
8cm wide at the widest point. The lower surfaces of the leaves have a
silvery appearance due to a coating of dense hairs. The flowers are vivid
pink in fairly compact racemes ca. 17cm long.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Pink Parfait' grows very similar in size and habit to
G. sessilis whereas G. 'Misty Pink' grows only to 2.5m tall. The leaves are
very similar to G. banksii in shape but are the green colour of G. sessilis
, not the greyish colour of G. banksii. The inflorescence is longer than in
G. 'Misty Pink'. The inflorescence is slighly narrower, ca. 5cm compared
with 6cm of G. 'Misty Pink'. The flowers are less densely packed on the
raceme than in G. 'Misty Pink'. The styles are very similar to the shortish
straight styles of G. sessilis rather than the longer, more hooked styles
of G. 'Misty Pink'.
Comparators:
Grevillea 'Misty Pink' CBG 8112260 (ACRA No.177).
Grevillea 'Copper Crest'
It is a dense mainly prostrate shrub reaching a width of 3-4m but also tends to produce upward arching branches to a height of about 600mm. These branches give an unusual saucer shape to the plant. The leaves are deeply lobed and up to 90mm long by about 40mm wide. Individual lobes which are pointed, are up to 7mm wide. The upper leaf surface is green with prominent veins while the underside is greyer with very prominent veins. A feature of the plant is that new growth is copper-coloured. The flowers are soft pink and produced in the leaf axils. They appear throughout the year with the main flowering period in late spring through to summer.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parents in the copper
to bronze leaf colouring.
Eucalyptus scoparia 'Golden Crown'
At the time of application this cultivar had not yet reached
its mature size. The new foliage of this plant is a bronze colour,
gradually turning gold. As the foliage matures, the gold changes to a lime
green colour. The foliage contrasts well with the red branchlets.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar can easily be distinguished from the typical E.
scoparia by the pale coloured mature foliage.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'
It is a dense shrub growing to a height of about 1.5m by about
2m wide. The leaves are often up to 100m long and are usually lobed. The
width of the leaves at their widest is about 30mm. New growth is an
attractive bronze colour whilst the upper surface of the older leaves is
dark shiny green. The underside is covered with dense silky hairs. The
flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are borne terminally on short
branches. Occasionally flowers are produced on the stem opposite a leaf.
The perianth is smoky pink with a prominent style which graduates to yellow
at the tip. Individual flowers are aobut 10mm long and the styles 25mm
long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parent in leaf shape
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
from pink in Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' to yellow in Grevillea 'Poorinda
Blondie'.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'
It is a large shrub growing to a height of about 4m by 5m
wide. The leaves are long and narrow and very deeply lobed. Each lobe is
pungent. The average number of lobes per leaf on the specimen examined is
14. The leaves are about 120mm long and up to 40mm wide across the lobes.
Occasionally entire leaves are produced. New foliage exhibits an attractive
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.
