It is a large open shrub growing to a height of about 1.5m by about 2m wide. The leaves are up to 20mm long by about 10mm wide. The upper surface is rough to the touch while the underside is rusty to light green in colour and covered with matted woolly hairs. The younger stems are also rough. The deep pink flowers are tubular and 35mm long. The colour is slightly paler at the tips. The tips of the floral tube are partially reflexed. The style and stamens protrude about 5mm beyond the rim of the floral tube. It is reported to flower freely from March to October. Diagnosis: This cultivar is different from its assumed parents in size of plant, flower colour and roughness of leaves, stems and flowers. Correa 'Bett's Red', growing to a height of about 1.5m, is larger than Correa 'Mannii' which usually grows up to 500mm. Correa'Bett's Red' has darker pink flowers than Correa 'Mannii' and the roughness of the leaves, stems and flowers of Correa 'Bett's Red' is much greater that shown by Correa 'Mannii'. Correa 'Bett's Red' is different from Correa reflexa in flower colour and shape of the floral tube. Correa 'Bett's Red' has deep pink flowers compared with red and/or green for Correa reflexa. The floral tube also does not reflex to the same extent usually seen in Correa reflexa.

This cultivar is a very large flowered form of the species. The flowers are quite squat, measuring plus/minus 30mm overall by plus/minus 13mm in diameter. The upper part of the corolla tube is red while the tips are a clear green yellow. All other characteristics of the cultivar fit within the known range of variation of C. reflexa var. speciosa. Diagnosis: The cultivar can be distinguished by its very large flowers.

The cultivar is a medium dense shrub that grows to 1.0m x 2m. The foliage is dark green. The flowers are pink and yellow to 25mm long by 8mm wide. It flowers in Autumn and Spring. Diagnosis: This cultivar is very similar to Correa 'Marian's Marvel'. The flowers are very similar though Correa 'Marion's Marvel' has more area of yellow at the base of the bell. The foliage also differs somewhat, with the leaves of Correa 'Betty Fawcett' having deep indentations where the leaves occur on the leaf blade.

This cultivar is an open shrub from 1-2m tall by up to 3m across. The stems are long and spreading and ascendant at the ends. Older stems are glabrous though younger stems are densely covered in pale to dark brown stellate hairs. The leaves are cordate with simple margins, an obtuse apex and up to 3cm long by 2cm wide. They are glabrous and shiny above and densely covered in pale to dark brown stellate hairs. The leaves are cordate with simple margins, an obtuse apex and up to 3cm long by 2cm wide. They are glabrous and shiny above and densely covered with pale to rusty stellate hairs on the underside. The flowers are tubular, up to 3cm long by 1cm wide and found from March to September. These are found in groups of one to three per axil, are pink with creamy green tips and covered with fine stellate hairs. The calyx lobes are not reflexed and the stamens are exserted. Diagnosis: 1-2m, up to 3m. Leaves cordate; 3cm long, 2cm wide, glabrous above, rusty hairy below. Flowers tubular, 3cm long, slightly reflexed, pink/creamy green.

Note: Originally Correa 'Pink Bells' Correa 'Dusky Bells' is an extremely compact and very dense shrub, rarely exceeding 0.6m in height. In more sheltered situations plants may grow marginally taller. Plants can spread form 2 to 4m across. Leaves vary considerably in size, from 10 to 40mm long by 5 to 20mm in width. They are elliptic to lanceolate or ovate in shape. The leaf apex is usually obtuse but can be emarginate. They are a dull green above and lighter green below. Both surfaces of the leaves have white stellate hairs when young but these hairs are practically absent on the upper surface of the older leaves. The uppermost part of the stems and branchlets are covered in brown stellate hairs. The tubular flowers are solitary and axillary. The exterior of the corolla is a pale carmine pink. The corolla is from 25 to 40mm in length. The outer surface of the corolla is densely covered in stellate hairs while the inner surface is free of hairs. The flowering period is from March to September though occasional flowers may be found at other times of the year. Diagnosis: This cultivar is easily distinguished by its dense compact habit, the distinctive foliage and the colour of its flowers. Notes: (1) From information provided by the applicant.

This cultivar is a small to medium shrub which grows from between 0.6m to 1.5m tall (but when scrambling up through other shrubs has been known to attain a height of 2.5m) and from 2 to 3m across. It is a much branched open shrub with long arching branches and with long internode spaces, but is more compact in an open situation. The leaves are dark green and glabrous on the upper surface and paler green and almost glabrous on the lower surface. The leaf shape is cordate with an obtuse apex and they vary considerably in size. The larger leaves are up to 3cm long by 2cm wide. The flowers are tubular and up to 4cm long by 1cm across. The flowers are a vivid red on the exterior and a paler pink inside. The perianth has reflexed tips. The flowering season varies from spring, autumn to winter and autumn to summer. The main flowering season in Canberra is the cooler months, especially from April to July. In Melbourne it occurs from April to August. Flowering often continues intermittently between the main bursts. Diagnosis: The cultivar differs markedly from the purported parents and can be distinguished by the flower colour alone. Correa 'Mannii' has been confused in the past with Correa 'Dusky Bells', a hybrid believed to be of the same parentage, but there is no logical reason for this confusion at all because the plants are quite different in general morphology, foliage and flower colour. Correa 'Mannii' has glabrous leaves and strongly reflexed perianth tips while Correa 'Bett's Red' has scabrous upper surface of the leaves and partially reflexed perianth lobes. Correa 'Bett's Red' also has dark pink flowers while Correa 'Mannii' is red.

Low-growing shrub to ca. 40 cm x 30 cm with a dense habit. Corolla cylindrical 35 mm x 10 mm, cream with a pale pink flush at the base and a 1cm band of pale green near the tips. Peak flowering is from March to June in most districts. Diagnosis: This cultivar conforms to descriptions for C. reflexa var. reflexa found naturally in the Portland area but is distinctive by its unique flower colour. Two colour forms occur commonly in the Portland area, bright red with green tips or uniformly green. Other natural variants occur and 'Icicle' is a colour selection from wild sources. There are very few cream forms of C. reflexa in the trade, the most common form available being red with green tips.

Bushy shrub to c 1m x 1.5m. Flowers: Pendulous sub-terminal showy toothbrush racemes, deflexed below the line of the branches in a massed display around the perimeter of the plant. Foliage: Leaves 6-7.5 cm long, 6.5-8 cm wide, obovate in outline, secund, divided 3-4 times, usually with trisect secondary division; primary leaf lobes 3-7, ultimate lobes 2-2.5 cm long, 1mm wide, ascending, linear-acerose, stiff; apices of lobes acute, mucro sharp, pungent; upper surface flat to slightly convex, green, subshiny; lower surface packed with short curly white hairs in the grooves, the midvein glabrous, green. Flower: Comparators: Grevillea calliantha, which differs in its deep burgundy-black and dull orange flowers, and less rigid, less prickly leaves. Grevillea 'Carrington Cross', which differs in its large, spreading habit, and its translucent pinky-mauve and grey flowers. Reasons for distinctiveness: Low, compact spreading habit, with showy pink toothbrush flowers prominently displayed at the ends of the branches for many months of the year.

Upright dense shrub growing to 1.5 m x 1.5 m with glossy mid green foliage turning gold which makes this a highly ornamental plant. It is not a variegated form as the whole leaf turns gold when the variety is planted in the open. Leaves are elliptical, glabrous on both sides, glossy on top growing up to 45 mm x 18 mm with obtuse tips and on very short petioles. Leaves when crushed have a fruity smell. Flowers occur singly or in pairs on short 4 mm pedicels at the end of short lateral branchlets. The corolla is 24 mm long x 7 mm wide, crimson up to where the petal tips split then grading to a pale green on the tips which are barely recurved. The corolla bulges slightly just below the calyx. Stamens are strongly exerted. Petal tips and filaments become pink with age. Calyx is cup-shaped, green and glabrous, 4 mm x 5 mm in size. Peak flowering is from Autumn to Winter but flowering may be spasmodic throughout the year. Diagnosis: This variety differs from other forms of C. glabra var turnbullii in the golden foliage. It is the only form which has this variation.

Woody herb to c. 1m high; stems several or many from a large woody rootstock, mostly erect and some flopping over. Flowers: In terminal racemes, 40–100, deep violet blue, Spring–Summer Foliage: Leaves lanceolate, mostly to 60mm long, apex acute, margins serrate. Comparators: Veronica arenaria has linear and entire or with a few teeth or with spreading irregular linear lobes and bright violet-blue flowers. Veronica derwentiana usually has large lanceolate serrate leaves and flowers white or pale lilac or pale blue Reasons for distinctiveness: A vigorous showy selection with the deep violet blue flower spikes similar to V. arenaria and leaves similar to V. derwentiana.
