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.
Hypocalymma cordifolium 'Golden Veil'
The cultivar can be expected to grow to a height of about 1m
with a spread of about the same. The small variegated heart shaped sessile
leaves are about 8mm long and wide. They are produced opposite each other
on minutely winged stems. These stems are bright pink while the new growth
is young.
DIAGNOSIS:Hypocalymma 'Golden Veil' is different from the normal form the
species in its leaf variegation. The leaves have an irregular cream margin.
The centre of the leaf is green.
Grevillea 'Jester'
This cultivar is a moderately dense spreading shrub to 3 m. It
grows 2 to 2.5 m tall. The leaves are green above and much paler below.
Flowers appear all year. Rhachis is 12-14 cm, long whorled form densely
packed terminal. Each flower is 3-4 cm long and the style is deep
orange-red; perianth tube is 1 cm long and pale orange outside and deeper
on curved lobes. Light rose perfume. Leaves are grey, silky long, appressed
and deeply lobed with a pungent mucronate tip; 20-21 cm long with recurved
edges; leaf segments are angled upwards. Similar to 'Robyn Gordon'.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Jester': Rachis 12-14cm. Leaves 20-21cm long,
recurved margins;silky-grey appressed hairs and deeply lobed pungent
mucronate tip. Flowers orange with deeper orange-red style. It is similar
to G. 'Robyn Gordon'. Habit 2-2.5x3m and flowers all year.
G. 'Coconut Ice':
Rachis 12-17cm. Leaves 10-15cm spreading, arching , dark
green, shiny, deeply divided, Linear-lanceolate, apex mucronate. Flowers
red-pink with dark red styles. Habit 1-1.5m x .5-1.5m and flowers all year.
G. 'Honey Gem':
Rachis 10-16cm long. Leaves to 30cm, deeply divided and
dark green above, grey below. Margins revolute and apex acuminate. Flowers
apricot with yellow styles. Habit 3-6 x 2-4m with flowers July through
December , some sporadic.
Grevillea 'Red Hooks'
A rounded, dense shrub up to 3m high by 4-5m across, with more
or less horizontal branches. The bright green leaves are pinnately lobed,
with narrow-linear lobes to about 30 mm. Overall leaf length is up to 15cm.
The bright red, toothbrush-like racemes are usually held horizontally and
are about 70mm long. They appear for most of the year but give a maximum
display in winter and spring. The perianth is greyish green and the long,
smooth style is bright red and tends to bend backwards.
Diagnosis:
The herbarium specimen is quite different to either supposed
parent. G. 'Red Hooks' has 10 deep lobes in each leaf. Each lobe is 1-2 cm
wide and revolute. Each lobe is up to 4cm long. G. tetragonoloba has deeply
divided leaves with 3 lobes each revolute, length 2cm. G. longifolia has
flowers not as dense as the other two with taller styles but these are very
prominent. Leaves are 15.5cm long.
