Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Wilson'
This cultivar forms a shrub ca. 3m tall by 3m wide. The leaves
are ca. 30mm long. The average to large petalled flowers open a deep pink
purple colour and as they age turn a deeper purple. When open the staminal
collar is a very distinct white. The flowers average ca. 20mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is a selected form of the species. The flower
colour is deep pink purple turning deeper purple with age is its
distinguishing feature. Should provide a statement contrasting the flower
colour of the species with the cultivar.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Purple Pride'
A moderately dense bushy shrub to 4m high and 3m wide,
becoming more open with age, unless pruned. Leaves medium to dark green
hooked at the end to 32mm long by 1.5 to 2mm across. Terminal flowers in
clusters are two-tone, dark and light purple, 17mm to 20mm across.
Flowering period in WA June to October.
Diagnosis:
Habit and form similar to locally occurring forms that is
southern forms of Chamelaucium uncinatum, however the branches are more
upright in growth. The distinctive feature of this old cultivar is its
two-tone flower colour, it has been in the nursery trade and well
recognised for many years. At present there are no known similar named
cultivars, though many similar seedling, which originate from this plant,
are now being cultivated. Probably the closest cultivar is 'Munn's', which
also has two-toned flowers, ie deep purple on the edge of the petal and
light purple centre. However this cultivar is also later flowering and the
leaves are much thinner.
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.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Bundara Mystic Pearl'
The habit of this cultivar is similar to normal Chamelaucium
uncinatum. The flowers are a pink mauve on opening fading to a very pale
pink.
Diagnosis:
A very robust shrub with a large number of the flowers borne on
the branch terminals. This cultivar was bred with the cut flower market in
mind and the first crop attained a 4.5kg cutting. This crop rate was
achieved at Bundara Nursery. The cultivar may be distinguished from other
similar colour forms of C. uncinatum by the heavier crop of flowers.
Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Bundara Supreme White'
The habit of this cultivar is similar to the normal
Chamelaucium uncinatum. The flowers are pure white in colour.
Diagnosis:
This shrub has leaves and flowers slightly smaller than the
normal form of Chamelaucium uncinatum. The shrub is very dense and the
flowers are borne on the branch terminals. The original shrub was bred with
the cut flower market in mind. In the first year 2.2kg of blooms were cut
and in the second year 6.8kg were cut from the plant. This crop rate was
recorded at Bundara Nursery. The cultivar differs from other white forms of
C. uncinatum in that it produces a heavier crop of flowers.
Leptospermum 'Stephen Rose'
It is a compact shrub tp 1.5m with white flowers with pale pink centres, blooming in winter and spring.
