Correa reflexa var. reflexa 'Mary's Choice'
Note:
Received as C. 'Anglesea' Mary D. White.
Erect shrub to ca. 1 m x 1.5 m with an open habit. Branchlets
highly tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming brown and
glabrous with age. Leaves simple, oblong-cordate leaves, 25mm x 9mm,
shortly petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases subcordate, venation
reticulate, entire margins with white-coloured stellate hairs. Upper
surfaces of mature leaves dark green and scabridulous. Upper surfaces of
young leaves pale green and finely tomentose with white-coloured stellate
hairs. Lower surfaces of leaves minutely densely tomentose with white
stellate hairs and becoming rust coloured and more concentrated on the
veins and margins. Peduncles axillary, calyx hemispherical with 4 minute
teeth, 4 mm high, fawn coloured with scattered rust-coloured stellate
hairs. Corolla cylindrical 35 mm x 9 mm, deep red graduating to pale green
at tips, which are barely reflexed and covered with a fine tomentum of
red-coloured stellate hairs becoming white- and tan-coloured at tips.
Anthers shortly exerted, narrow oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from
June to October in most districts.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar conforms to descriptions for C. reflexa var.
reflexa by Wilson (1998). The rich-red flower colour and floriferous habit
are the distinguishing features of this selection from the wild. Correa
'Mary's Choice' has been widely cultivated in Australian gardens for many
years.
Acacia pravissima 'Golden Carpet'
It is a prostrate plant that will reach a height of about
400mm and attain a spread of about 6m. The phyllodes are triangular being
about 10mm long by about 8mm wide. The lower edge of each phyllode ends in
a sharp point. The yellow flowers are produced in profusion. Each globular
head of flowers is 4mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from the known normal forms of its
parent in its completely prostrate habit. Acacia pravissima is normally a
tall shrub or small tree.
Acacia cultriformis 'Cascade'
This cultivar is a prostrate form which grows up to 2m across.
The maximum height attained is only 10cms. All other features of the plant
are as for Acacia cultriformis. The flowers are of a similar size to those
of the normal form, although flowering has been noted to be a little sparse
and irregular on the cultivar.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is readily distinguished by its prostrate growth
habit.
Acacia amblygona 'Winter Gold'
This cultivar reaches a height of about 300mm and spreads about 2m. The phyllodes taper to a sharp point from a broad base. They are up to 10mm long by 4mm wide. A number of prominent veins are visible. The
rich yellow flower clusters are borne on flower stalks 10mm long. The "pom-pom" or globular flower head is about 5mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different form the known normal forms of the species in its prostrate habit. Acacia amblygona normally reaches a height of 1.5m.
