Grevillea 'Lyn Parry'
This cultivar grows to ca. 1.3m tall by 1m across. The leaves
are from 15mm to 35mm long, occasional silky hairs above and densely silky
tomentose below. The leaves are lanceolate with an apiculate apex. The leaf
margins are rolled under. The older branches have a very scattered covering
of small, silky hairs while the younger branchlets are densely covered with
rusty brown hairs. The peduncles and buds are covered in appressed silky
hairs that are rusty reddish in colour. The perianth is approximately 6mm
long and a dull pink in colour. The style is a dull red. The ovary and
inside of the perianth are covered with dense, long, silky hairs. The
flower racemes are terminal and umbel-like. The cultivar bears occasional
flowers all year with the main flowering period being spring.
Diagnosis:
The hybrid origin of this cultivar is very obvious upon closer
examination.

Grevillea 'Waverley Ghost'
This cultivar is a dense, bushy shrub 0.6 m to 1m tall. and
from 1.5 to 2m wide.The shrub has irregularly variegated foliage with
occasional marginal variegation to complete marginal variegation and
complete leaf variegation. The flowers are pink in colour.
Diagnosis:
The flowers appear to be somewhat fewer in number when compared
to the parent. The flower colour is also slightly different. The flowers of
Grevillea 'Poorinda Constance' are described as a clear red (perianth red
group 50A, style red group 46C) whereas Grevillea 'Waverley Ghost' is a
pink (red group 48D). The ultimate height of the cultivars differs also,
with Grevillea 'Poorinda Constance' growing between 2 and 4m tall and is,
however, grown mainly for its variegated foliage like Grevillea 'Golden
Sparkle',which it resembles in variegation.Grevillea 'Golden Sparkle'
differs in having orange-red flowers and in growing to about 1.6m tall.
Grevillea 'Waverley Ghost' appears to be denser and more vigorous than
Grevillea 'Golden Sparkle' when grown in Canberra, though more time is
needed to assess this factor.
Other notes:
Grevillea 'Waverley Ghost', while mainly grown for its
variegated foliage, also looks attractive in flower with the pink of the
flowers contrasting well with the yellowish-green foliage. Propagation by
vegetative means is the only way to preserve the cultivar form. The
variegation of this cultivar has proved to be very stable. The cultivar is
drought resistant and frost hardy and has proved adaptable to a variety of
soil conditions.
Grevillea 'Winpara Gem'
This cultivar is a dense shrub to 2m tall by up to 3m wide.
The leaves are grey green and deeply divided (almost to the midrib) and are
up to 6cm long. The leaf edges are rolled under. The venation under the
leaf is particularly prominent. Each leaf lobe has a short but pungent tip.
The upper surface of the leaf has scattered silky hairs while the lower
surface other than the veins is closely covered with a dense mat of closely
appressed silky hairs. The branchlets are also covered by fine hairs that
diminish as the wood matures. The flowers are in racemes ca. 25mm long
produced terminally on short lateral branchlets arising from the older
wood. This sometimes leads to the flowers being partially obscured by
younger growth. Individual flowers are densely packed on each raceme. The
perianth is dark in colour, but appears lighter due to the dense covering
of fine white hairs. The perianth is 7-8mm long and splits into four
segments. The reddish style is hooked when it first emerges but soon
straightens, measuring ca. 14mm long. Flowers are produced from April to
mid October.
Diagnosis:
G. olivacea:
5m tall and spreading. Leaves up to 70mm long x 20mm wide;
oblanceolate with an emarginate apex; short, very scattered silky hairs on
the upper surface but appearing glabrous; densely silky hairy on the upper
surface. Flowers in small compact racemes on older wood; racemes short and
rounded; perianth pale on the outside due to the dense coating of silky
hairs; inside perianth glabrous; style glabrous and red; flowers
winter/spring.
Grevillea 'Winpara Gem':
2m tall by up to 3m wide. Leaves up to 60mm long x
35mm wide at the widest point; regularly pinnatisect; lobes linear; lobes
1-2mm broad; scattered fine silky hairs above; moderately dense silky hairs
below. flowers in 25mm long racemes terminally on short branchlets arising
from older wood; racemes straight; perianth appears pale on outer surface
due to dense silky hairs; inside of perianth glabrous; style glabrous and
red; flowers April to mid October.
G. thelemanniana:
can vary in height but usually .3-1.2m tall by 2-3m wide.
Leaves from 15-50mm long by ca. 20mm wide; from 3 lobed to pinnatisect;
lobes linear; lobes 1-5mm broad; covered in fine silky hairs. Flowers in
50mm long racemes terminally on newer wood; racemes reflexed; perianth
glabrous on the outer surface; inside of perianth densely hairy; style
glabrous and scarlet; flowers May to September.
The leaves more closely resemble G. thelemanniana but are not as much
divided. Racemes are also similar but shorter in Grevillea 'Winpara Gem'.
Grevillea tenuiloba 'Golden Glory'
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is an orange flowered form of the species. The
foliage is a bright green in colour. The more usual form of the species has
pink red flowers and slightly greyish foliage. The plant is described by
the applicant as being very floriferous. However, the usual form of the
species is also very floriferous and comparison of the cultivar specimen
with specimens of the more usual form does not indicate that density of
flowering is a major distinguishing feature.
Grevillea 'Lyrebird'
This cultivar has a dense habit and after 5 years has reached a height of 1.2m by 2m wide. The branches arch up which gives the shrub a saucer shaped appearance. The leaves are up to 15cm long by 3.5cm wide at the widest point. The leaves are lobes alternately along the rachis with the individual lobes being ca. 0.5 to 2cm long. The leaves are silvery in appearance due to the light coat of silvery hairs on the top surface of the leaf. The underside of the leaf is covered with a dense coat of hairs. The new growth is a bronze colour. The flower buds also have these bronze overtones. The flowers are terminal or nearly so and of the toothbrush type. The flowers are orange turning to pink with age. The flowering season is from spring to autumn (in Melbourne).
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Lyrebird' bears little similarity to other grevilleas of the same leaf type. The leaves are generally finer, the lobes fewer in
number and not as wide as in other cultivars such as Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie', Grevillea 'Poorinda Enchantment', Grevillea 'Poorinda Miriam' and other similar cultivars. The cultivar differs from the presumed parent in it's lower growing form and in that the flower is orange turning pink compared with the pinky red of the presumed parent.
Other notes:
The frost and drought tolerance of the cultivar has not yet been fully tested.
Grevillea 'Ivanhoe'
The cultivar is thought to be a hybrid between G. longifolia and G. caleyi. A vigorous cultivar with dense habit, growing up to 3 m high by 4 m across. Branches tend to be held horizontally. Leaves are deeply and more or less regularly toothed up to 10 cm long and 20 mm wide. Flowers are
red in toothbrush-like racemes up to 50 mm long. Foliage is intermediate between the parents and habit is rather denser and more vigorous than either parent.
Diagnosis:
Foliage is intermediate between the parents and the habit is denser and more vigorous than either parent.
Myoporum insulare 'FlatinsulGL'
Vigorous prostrate selection with white flowers and purple berries.
Grevillea 'Goldrush'
This cultivar is a small shrub to 0.8m tall by up to 1m wide.
It flowers in winter with yellow to pinkish flowers and a red style, though
the colours are subdued. The foliage is superficially like Grevillea
'Austraflora McDonald Park'
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Goldrush' is readily distinguished by the flower
colour. The flower colour is more subdued than Grevillea 'Austraflora
McDonald Park'. Grevillea 'Goldrush' is similar in flower to Grevillea
alpina 'Grampians Gold' but can be distinguished by the red style compared
with the yellow style of G. alpina 'Grampians Gold'. The yellow-green colouration of the stigmatic plate extends along theback of the stigma for about 4mm.
Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.
