Philotheca myoporoides 'Winter Rouge'
Bushy shrub to about 1.5 metres high by a similar width.
Leaves to 1 cm wide by 5 cm long.
Flowers: late winter to spring, pink buds opening to white flowers approximately 2 cm in diameter. The underside of the petals displays a diffuse pink colouration, predominantly on the midrib.
Foliage colour: deep green
Comparators: the closest known comparator is Philotheca myoporoides 'Profusion'.
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Philotheca myoporoides 'Winter Rouge' differs notably from Philotheca myoporoides 'Profusion' by the presence of distinctive pink buds and the generally smaller stature.
Philotheca 'Poorinda'
Eriostemon 'Poorinda' grows to 1.5m tall and about .8m across.
The branches are glabrous, verrucose, and of medium density. The leaves are obovate with a broadly obtuse apex and about 4cm long and 1.2cm wide. The lower surface is dotted with numerous small glandular verrucosities.
The inflorescence is an axillary pedunculae cluster of up to four flowers, each cluster measuring about 1.8cm across. The buds are bright pink opening to white with a pale pink tinge where the colour shows through. Flowering occurs from spring to summer. It has been in cultivation since 1965.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar attains a height intermediate between P. verrucose (0.3-.6m) and P. myoporoides (up to 2m). The leaves are in the shorter range of P. myoporoides which can be from 1.5-11cm long and they are much larger than P. verrucosa which has leaves up to 1.5cm.
Philotheca 'Poorinda' is much less prominent than P. myoporoides. The flowers are in larger clusters than P. verrucosa where they are usually solitary but they are fewer than for P. myoporoides which may have 4-6 flowers per cluster. The petals are pink in bud and white when open like those of P. verrucose but a little longer, being closer in size to P. myoporoides.
Philotheca verrucosa 'J. Semmens'
This cultivar grows to 0.6m tall by 0.6m wide and its foliage
is often sparse. The flowers are 15mm to 25mm across and consist of three
layers of petals which surround petaloid stamens. The flowering season is
August to October. All other characteristics of the cultivar are as for P.
verrucosa.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar can be easily distinguished from the usual form of
P. verrucosa by the multi-petalled flowers.
Diagnosis:
Other multi-petalled forms of P. verrucosa have been recorded,
but material is not available for examination for difference. Written
descriptions of the various forms appear similiar.
Pimelea linifolia 'Mullimburra Midget'
Compact low shrub or ground cover to 0.5m (h) x 0.75m (w)
Flowers:
all year round, terminal white to 25–30mm in diameter
Foliage colour:
Mid green
Comparators:
Pimelea linifolia
Reasons for distinctiveness:
This compact floriferous selection is quite
different from the common forms of Pimelea linifolia which are open spindly
shrubs to around one metre tall and flowering is in spring.
Pimelea ferruginea 'Magenta Mist'
This cultivar resembles the usual form of P. ferruginea
except in regard to the flower colour. The inflorescences are magenta in
colour.
Diagnosis:
P. ferruginea 'Magenta Mist' is readily distinguished from P.
ferruginea because of the rich magenta colour of its flowers. It can be
distinguished form P. ferruginea 'Bonne Petite' in the following ways:
'Magenta Mist'
'Bonne Petite'
Internode distance as for usual form of the species.
Leaf internode distance shorter than usual for the species.
Flower heads loose, open to 3cm across.
Flower heads compact to 2-2.5cm across.
Flowers deep pink (magenta).
Flowers pale pink fading quickly around outer edges to paler pink, then
white.
Colour of flowers hold well
Flower colour fades quickly.
Leaf apex rounded.
Leaf apex slightly pointed.
Pimelea ferruginea 'Bonne Petite'
This cultivar is a very compact shrub to 0.7m tall by 0.7m
wide. The flowers are cerise pink in clusters and are found in the spring
Leaves oval shaped and ca. 12mm long.
Diagnosis:
Pimelea 'Bonne Petite' is very similar to P. 'Magenta Mist' but
differs in the following ways. P. 'Bonne Petite' has a shorter internode
distance making it more compact; the flower heads are slightly smaller,
being 20-25mm across compared with 30mm for P. 'Magenta Mist'; the flowers
are a paler pink; the flower colour fades less quickly; the leaf apex is
slightly pointed compared to the rounded apex of P. 'Magenta Mist'.
Pimelea nivea 'Standup Point'
This cultivar forms a very compact shrub from 0.6m to 1.5m
tall by up to 2m wide. The leaves are said to be broader and glossier than
those of the usual form. It flowers very freely from October to December in
Tasmania. Flowerheads are up to 35mm across, which is slightly larger than
usual, with individual flowers 8-10mm long and white in colour.
Diagnosis:
This form can be distinguished from the more usual form of the
species by its compact nature, glossier surface of the leaves and larger
flower heads. It is more compact due to the short internodes spaces.
Lomandra hystrix 'LHCOM'
Mat Rush which grows to 0.6-1m (H) x 1.2m – 1.5m wide with pale yellow fragrant flower heads from September to November.
Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Springtime White'
Medium compact shrub with aromatic leaves and with white flower heads.
Comparitor: Ozothamnus diosmifolius ‘Redlands Sandra’
Diagnosis: Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Springtime White' is a rounded medium to broad dense shrub with dark green leaves. The terminal inflorescence is rounded and dense (capitula >200) and shape is broad ovate with time of flowering - medium.
Ozothamnus diosmifolius ‘Redlands Sandra’ is an upright narrow medium density shrub with light green leaves. The terminal inflorescence is flattened with medium density (capitula 100-200) and shape is narrow to ovate with time of flowering - late.(Source information from PBR detailed description)
Eucryphia lucida 'Ballerina'
The general morphology of the cultivar is as for the species,
but the flower size, at 3cm, is towards the larger end of those recorded
for the species. The flowers are shaded from very pale pink inside to
darker pink edges with crimson stamens.
Diagnosis:
The colour of the flowers is similar to those of E. lucida
'Pink Cloud', but the stamens are crimson, giving the appearance of a
crimson centre.
