Melaleuca huegelii 'HuegflatGL'
Low spreading plant 20cm high x 2m across with small white bottlebrush flowers in Summer
Melaleuca thymifolia 'Little Beauty'
This cultivar is a compact and dense shrub growing to ca. 0.3m
tall by 0.6m wide. It flowers over most of the year except the winter
months. The flowers are mauve and up to 20mm in diameter. The plant
otherwise resembles M. thymifolia.
Diagnosis:
M. thymifolia 'Little Beauty' differs from the more usual forms
of the species in the flower colour, the density in which the flowers are
borne and its compact, dense habit. The flowers on this cultivar are borne
in dense clusters across the top of the plant as compared to the scattered
axillary clusters of flowers found in the normal form of the species.

The silver foliage is the main distinguishing feature of this
cultivar.
Callistemon 'Country Sprite'
Fairly loose, open shrub to 4-5m tall. The new growth is
coppery pink. The leaves are narrowly elliptic to narrow-oblanceolate,
42-64mm long, and 6-9mm wide. The leaf stalk is 1-1.7mm long, margins
slightly recurved (on herbarium specimens at least); reticulate venation
clearly visible. Flower spike moderately open to relatively dense, ca. 35mm
wide. Stamens ca. 44-50, ca. 15mm long, pink at the tip, pale at the base.
Anthers yellow. Style exceeding stamens, pale green. Fruit not seen.
Flowering period mostly spring and late summer.
Diagnosis:
Differs from C. 'Glasshouse Country' in:
flowers redder and larger
darker leaf colour of older leaves
larger leaves
prominent pale green styles
Differs from C. recurvus in:
pale flower colour with stamens pale at base
paler, longer and wider leaves
leaves with less recurved margins (at least in dry specimens)
As with C. 'Tin-Sal Glow' there is a superficial resemblance to pink forms
of C. seiberi (syn. C. palludosus). However, the pale bases to the stamens
and slightly recurved leaf margins of C. 'Country Sprite' are distinct.
Leptospermum laevigatum 'Raelene'
It exhibits all the characters of the normal forms of L.
laevigatum except that the leaves are slightly smaller, being about 15mm
long by about 6mm wide, and that they are variegated. The new growth is
light green margined with yellow/cream and as the growth matures the green
becomes darker and the yellow/cream margins turn bright pink.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from normal forms of its parents in
its slightly smaller leaves and leaf variegation.

Banksia 'Giant Candles'
The leaves of this cultivar are plus/minus 4.5cm long and are
intermediate between the two parents, being whorled around the stem as in
B. ericifolia and with the revolute margins of B. spinulosa. The leaves are
not toothed. The inflorescence of this cultivar is its most striking
attribute. A single inflorescence can measure 38-40cm long. When fresh the
inflorescence resembles B. ericifolia. The individual flowers are rich
orange in colour and 2-2.6cm long, as compared to the gold flowers with
black styles of B. spinulosa var. spinulosa. In Brisbane the flowering
period is from autumn through winter.
Lechenaultia biloba 'White Flash'
A natural colour variant of Lechenaultia biloba which differs
from other forms in that it has a clear and sharp break between the white
central portion of the flower and the deep blue outer area of the petals.
The plant in the wild is an open wiry specimen but with judicious pruning
could be shaped into an attractive garden bush doing best in a light gravel
or sandy soil. Cultivar received by the Authority on 10 December 1974 from
the ANBG.
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.
