parent in its completely prostrate habit. Acacia pravissima is normally a
tall shrub or small tree.

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.
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'.
