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'.
Comparators:
Agonis flexuosa 'Variegata' (ACRA Number 4) held at
the Herbarium, National Botanic Gardens, Canberra.
Agonis flexuosa 'Marks Mini'
A compact dwarf form of Agonis flexuosa and white flowers in Summer.
Agonis flexuosa 'Midnight Shadow'
Compact small tree or large shrub with weeping dark burgundy new growth which turns deep green as it matures. Flowers white in Summer. Diagnosis: Differs from Agonis flexuosa ‘Jervis Bay After Dark’ in that while new growth is the same dark burgundy the mature leaves are yellow green.
Alyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem'
Compact shrub, 2.0–3.5 m (h) x 2.0–4 m (w); flowers 80–100 mm across x about same long, deep bluish-purple, can be produced most of year but especially Spring to Autumn; leaves 70–120 mm long x about same, palmate with slender petiole, broadly 5-lobed green.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'
A compact medium sized variety, forming a good sized clump. Bold red larger flowers mainly in spring and summer, spot flowering at other times, bird attracting and great cut flowers. Very good in Mediterranean climates, not as vigorous in humid climates where they are best grown in pots.
Anigozanthos 'Bush Inferno'

Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Bundara Excelsior'
The habit of this cultivar is similar to normal Chamelaucium
uncinatum. The flowers are an attractive pale mauve.
Diagnosis:
This shrub is very robust. A large percentage of the flowers are
borne on the branch terminals. The original shrub was bred with the cut
flower market in mind and the flower bearing capability of the shrub was
proven by the amount of flowers cropped from it. In the first year 3.4kg,
second year 13.6kg and the third year 18.2kg were cropped from one plant.
This crop rate was recorded at Bundara Nursery. It is distinguished from
other similarly coloured forms by its heavier crop of flowers.
Correa reflexa var. speciosa 'Fat Fred'
This cultivar is a very large flowered form of the species.
The flowers are quite squat, measuring plus/minus 30mm overall by
plus/minus 13mm in diameter. The upper part of the corolla tube is red
while the tips are a clear green yellow. All other characteristics of the
cultivar fit within the known range of variation of C. reflexa var.
speciosa.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar can be distinguished by its very large flowers.
Banksia serrata 'Pygmy Possum'
This cultivar is a very low growing form of the species, growing to .6m tall by up to 2.5m across. The leaves and inflorescences are the smallest in the range of variation of the species. The leaves are up to
8.5cm long by 2cm wide at the widest point. The inflorescences are short and squat, generally reaching 10cm tall by up to 9cm wide, though they have been recorded from 12cm to 20cm tall.
Diagnosis:
Banksia ' Pygmy Possum' can immediately be distinguished by its low, sprawling growth habit and the generally smaller size of its leaves and inflorescences.
NOTE: Like many dwarf selections this cultivar will grow to an upright form. 30 year old plants at the ANBG are now 4-5 metres high.
