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.

Citrus australasica 'Judy's Everbearing'
Tall shrub or small tree to a maximum of 3-4 metres high by 2
– 3 metres wide with dense foliage. Axillary spines solitary, straight to
25mm long. Leaves are simple, obovate to elliptic, glabrous. Flowers white
(with pink buds) approximately 10-15mm in diameter. Fruit a cylindrical

fruit all year round.
Correa 'Summer Belle'
Small dense spreading shrub growing to 1 m x 1 m with shiny
foliage. Mature leaves opposite, 30 mm x 11 mm in size, elliptical, apex
acute, margin slightly irregular and tending to recurve, dark glossy green,
slightly scabrous and glabrous on top, regularly pitted with sparsely
scattered pale coloured stellate hairs on the margins. Underside of leaves
paler green, densely covered with minute tan coloured stellate hairs.
Petiole 4mm, light green, thickly covered with tan coloured stellate hairs.
Calyx 4.5 mm x 6 mm, tan coloured, square shaped, with minute calyx teeth
present, covered with numerous small tan coloured stellate hairs becoming
sparser towards the corolla. Pedicel 3 mm. Corolla 33 mm x 8 mm, rose pink
colour to the split covered with numerous small rose coloured stellate
hairs. Petal tips pale green covered with pale green stellate hairs grading
to tan and becoming denser at the tip. Underside of corolla tips pale green
and glabrous then changing to a pink throat. Stamens 8, strongly exerted
from the corolla, 38 mm long, filaments very fine and pale green, strongly
widened towards the base. Anthers bright yellow, 3 mm long. Style 33 mm
long. Peak flowering is in summer and continues through to winter.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar resembles C. glabra var turnbullii in foliage.
Leaves are glossy green and aromatic when crushed. Differs from C. ‘ Mt
Barker Beauty ’ which has shorter flowers and a green calyx. The flowers of
C. ‘ Mt Barker Beauty ’ are also darker red and green and the colour change
from red to green occurs further up the corolla from the split. Mature
leaves of C. ‘ Mt Barker Beauty ’ are longer and wider. Differs from other
C.glabra var turnbullii varieties which have much shorter, narrower and
paler pink flowers with highly exerted stamens. Calyx of C.glabra var
turnbullii is green rather than tan and mature leaves are longer. The
flowers of C. ‘Summer Belle’ are larger than the usual C. glabra var
turnbullii varieties.
