Grevillea 'Superb'
This cultivar is a shrub of medium density, growing to plus/minus 1m tall by 1-2m wide. The foliage is very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon' (a cross with the same parent species) and it is virtually impossible to distinguish between them. The inflorescence can measure plus/minus 15cm long by plus/minus 9cm wide. The individual flowers are moderately densely packed on the raceme and completely encircle the rachis. Individual flowers measure 4.5 to 5cm long. The pedicel and perianth are also covered in dense, closely appressed hairs. The style appears glabrous but does have scattered, very short, silky hairs. The inflorescences are borne teminally. The buds are dark in colour before opening. The inflorescences are very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon' except in colouration. The flowers are salmon in colour with the perianth changing to red as they
age. The styles are red with yellow tips.
Diagnosis:
Vegetatively this cultivar is very similar to G. 'Robyn Gordon'. The difference is in the flower colour as described above.

Pultenaea pedunculata 'Pyalong Gold'
This cultivar is a colour form of Pultenaea pedunculata Hook. It is a dense prostrate shrub that grows to 2m wide, and is very floriferous. The flowers are ca.1cm across and appear in spring. All other details for the cultivar are as for P. pedunculata.
Diagnosis:
Pultenaea 'Pyalong Gold' is readily distinguished from the usual P. pedunculata by its flower colour which is pure yellow with a small patch of red around the base of the keel and standard of the flowers.
Other notes:
Although forms close to this one are known from previous wild collections, it is uncommon and its bright yellow flowers make it more conspicuous than the more common forms of P. pedunculata. The cultivar was first selected and introduced to cultivation in October 1977.
