individual flowers are a greenish-yellow. The flowers are covered with deep

glabrous. Flower stems to 500mm; covered in wooly hairs; stems sometimes
branched. Flowers are tubular to 50mm long; covered in short hairs;
perianth lobes turned back; cream, yellow, orange pink or red in colour.
A. 'Bush Glow':
Leaves to 7mm wide by 400mm long; glabrous. Flower stems to
700mm tall, branched. Flowers tubular, 35-40mm long, perianth lobes
partially recurved, perianth greenish-yellow and densely covered with deep

Clumps to 1m across and up to 2m tall. Leaves are 20-40mm wide
by up to 1m long; glabrous. Flower stem up to 2m; glabrous where branching
starts; flowers tubular, 30-40mm long, perianth lobes not curved back, red,

Anigozanthos 'Rambofury'
Medium compact selection 1.2m(h) x 1.5m(w) with red flowers. Comparitors: A. 'Big Red' and A. 'Bush Sunset'. Diagnosis: A. ‘Big Red’ has bright all red flowers and similar breeding to Rambofury where as A. Bush Fury has yellow hairs on the buds.
A. ‘Bush Sunset’ has similar breeding, bright red flowers and similar height to Rambofury. but has darker red flowers red 53A
Correa alba var. alba 'Blush'
Erect medium sized shrub to c. 2m x 2m with a dense habit.
Branchlets finely tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming
green and glabrous with occasional clusters of stellate hairs. Simple
leaves broad elliptic or sub-circular, 20 mm x 20 mm. Leaf tips slightly
emarginate, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins slightly
recurved. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and coriaceous with
occasional minute hairs. Upper surfaces of young leaves minutely tomentose.
Corolla 10 mm x 10 mm with petals split to calyx, largely white around
margins with pale pink spreading along petal from throat. Peak flowering is
from April to June in most districts with spasmodic flowering throughout
the year.
Diagnosis:
The normal flower colour for C. alba var. alba is white. Various
forms with pink petals occur naturally in both Victoria and Tasmania. This
is one of the naturally occurring forms from Victoria. The descriptive name
'Blush' has been used to differentiate this plant from other C. alba var.
alba forms which have white petals. The size and habit of the plant
conforms to other C. alba var. alba forms.
Correa 'Pink Delight'
Prostrate shrub to c. 40 cm x 2-3 m with a moderately dense
habit. Branchlets and stems green, glabrous with occasional rust-coloured
stellate hairs. Simple cordate leaves, 28 mm x 14 mm, with obvious pattern
of oil glands, petioles 6 mm. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique,
venation reticulate, margins entire. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark
green and glabrous. Upper surfaces of young leaves glabrous with occasional
rust-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale green, glabrous with
occasional white stellate hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs.
Corolla cylindrical 40 mm x 15 mm, pale pink with cream tips. Peak
flowering is from May to July in most districts.
Diagnosis:
The glabrous leaves of this cultivar conform to descriptions for
C. pulchella by Wilson (1998). The flower is larger than Wilson's range for
C. pulchella and the cream tips are an unusual variation. C. pulchella
flowers tend to have only one colour from calyx to tip rather than two.
There may be some affinity with C backhouseana in this seedling. The
cultivar flower is distinctive because of its size which is larger than
most C. pulchella flowers and because of its colour which is different from
other C. pulchella hybrids, e.g., 'Dusky Bells', 'Pink Mist', 'Mannii'. It
differs from C. 'Firebird' in flower size and colour, in size of plant and
growth habit and in leaf shape and tomentum.
Correa reflexa var. reflexa 'Narrow Neil'
Erect shrub to c. 1.7 m x I m with a moderately dense habit.
Branchlets highly tomentose with rust coloured stellate hairs becoming
brown and glabrous with age. Leaves simple, cordate, 19 mm x 14 mm, shortly
petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse-emarginate, leaf bases cordate, venation
reticulate, entire margins. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and
scabridulous. Upper surfaces of young leaves pale green with scattered
white-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces of leaves minutely tomentose
with white stellate hairs becoming rust coloured and more concentrated on
the veins. Peduncles axillary, calyx hemispherical, 5 mm high, fawn
coloured with scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs. Corolla cylindrical
37mm x 9 mm, deep red with definite pale green band at tips, which are
strongly reflexed and covered with a fine tomentum of red-coloured stellate
hairs becoming white and lime-coloured at tips. Anthers strongly exerted,
narrow oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from June to September 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
distinctive features of this selection from the wild. It varies from C.
'Mary's Choice' in the size and growth habit of the plant, in the size and
shape of the leaves, as well as in the amount of tomentum on the leaves.
The flowers are also distinctive from C. 'Mary's Choice' in the definite
band of lime green at the tips and their stronger reflex.
