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:

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.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Wilson'
This cultivar forms a shrub ca. 3m tall by 3m wide. The leaves
are ca. 30mm long. The average to large petalled flowers open a deep pink
purple colour and as they age turn a deeper purple. When open the staminal
collar is a very distinct white. The flowers average ca. 20mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is a selected form of the species. The flower
colour is deep pink purple turning deeper purple with age is its
distinguishing feature. Should provide a statement contrasting the flower
colour of the species with the cultivar.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Purple Pride'
A moderately dense bushy shrub to 4m high and 3m wide,
becoming more open with age, unless pruned. Leaves medium to dark green
hooked at the end to 32mm long by 1.5 to 2mm across. Terminal flowers in
clusters are two-tone, dark and light purple, 17mm to 20mm across.
Flowering period in WA June to October.
Diagnosis:
Habit and form similar to locally occurring forms that is
southern forms of Chamelaucium uncinatum, however the branches are more
upright in growth. The distinctive feature of this old cultivar is its
two-tone flower colour, it has been in the nursery trade and well
recognised for many years. At present there are no known similar named
cultivars, though many similar seedling, which originate from this plant,
are now being cultivated. Probably the closest cultivar is 'Munn's', which
also has two-toned flowers, ie deep purple on the edge of the petal and
light purple centre. However this cultivar is also later flowering and the
leaves are much thinner.
