Small, dense shrub 50cm in diameter. Flowers colour carmine red with green tips and white throat, ca. 3cm long by 4cm wide from April to August in Victoria. May be a hybrid between Correa reflexa var. speciosa and C. alba var. alba with distinctive characteristic of the flower splitting.

Medium-sized upright shrub with modrately dense foliage and long internodes. Mature leaves opposite, 33 mm x 18 mm, obcordate, apex obtuse, margin slightly irregular, dark glossy green and glabrous on top, visible oil glands and scattered stellate hairs on the margins. Underside of leaves paler green, with scattered dark stellate hairs. Petiole 5mm, light green, thickly covered with dark stellate hairs. Calyx 4 mm x 5 mm, pale green coloured, square shaped, 4 minute calyx teeth present, covered with numerous tiny stellate hairs. Pedicel 6mm similar to calyx. Corolla 35 mm x 8 mm (just above petal split), pale coffee colour changing to pale pink as the flower ages. Corolla covered with numerous small stellate hairs. Corolla throat very pale green changing to very pale pink, almost white, glabrous. Stamens 8, slightly exerted from the corolla, 38 mm long, white, widened towards the base. Anther yellow, 2 mm long. Style 34 mm long, filament very fine and white. Flowering from January onwards. Prolific in flower and flowers well displayed. Diagnosis: Parentage unknown but possible parents may be C. glabra ‘Inglewood Gold’ and C. pulchella. This hybrid differs from C. glabra ‘ Inglewood Gold ’ which has a shorter corolla and the flower colour is green-gold. Leaves of C. 'Inglewood Gold' are shorter and narrower. Differs from C. pulchella which has a shorter corolla, a darker pink or orange flower colour and no calyx teeth. Leaves are shorter, narrower and cordate with almost acute tips.

Upright medium-sized shrub to approximately 1.5 m x 1.5 m with a moderately open habit. Branchlets sparsely tomentose with tan-coloured stellate hairs becoming brown and glabrous with age. Long internodes up to 48 mm add to the openness of the foliage. Simple elliptical leaves, 27 mm x 13 mm, petioles to 6 mm. Leaf apices acute, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins entire.Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and glabrous with defined pits (oil glands). Lower surfaces of mature leaves pale green and glabrous with occasional scattered white stellate hairs. Upper surfaces of young leaves mid green, glabrous with scattered white and tan stellate hairs becoming rust-coloured and more concentrated at margins. Lower surfaces of young leaves covered in dense tomentum of rust-coloured stellate hairs. Calyx hemispherical, apiculate, densely tomentose, pedicels tomentose up to 5 mm with tiny tomentose bracts at base of pedicel. Corolla cylindrical 20 mm x 7 mm, dull rose pink with a fine tomentum of rose coloured stellate hairs grading to almost transparent on the dull green tips. Tips of corolla not reflexed. Stamens markedly exserted 4 x 10 mm and 4 x 5 mm. Style longer than stamens 17 mm from margin of corolla. Anthers oblong spathulate, yellow-green, margins recurved. Flowering from October onwards in most districts and sporadic throughout the year. Diagnosis: This correa hybrid differs from all varieties of C. lawrenceana and from C. baeuerlenii. The leaves are closest in size to C. lawrenceana var. grampiana but the leaf tips differ. Leaf tips are acute as for C. baeuerlenii. The calyx of C. 'Marianne' has four distinct lobes similar to C. lawrenceana var glandulifera but is not as bulbous and is larger and is nothing like the distinctive calyx of C. baeuerlenii. Flower colour is pink and green. The only C. lawrenceana varieties which have red flowers are C. lawrenceana var. rosea and C. lawrenceana var. cordifolia. C. baeuerlenii has green flowers so the flower colour must come from the C. lawrenceana parent.

Compact low-growing, small plant. Mature leaves opposite, 16mm x 15 mm, cordate, apex obtuse, margin wavy, dark glossy green and glabrous on top, visible oil glands and scattered stellate hairs on the margins. Underside of leaves paler green, with scattered dark stellate hairs. Petiole 3mm, light green, covered with dark stellate hairs. Calyx 4 mm x 7 mm, tan coloured, square shaped, no calyx teeth present, covered with numerous small stellate hairs. Pedicel 4mm similar to calyx. Corolla 24 mm x 10 mm (just above petal split), rose pink colour covered with numerous small stellate hairs. Corolla throat paler pink, glabrous. Stamens 8, exerted from the corolla, 26 mm long, white, widened towards the base. Anther dark coloured, 1.5 mm long. Style 27 mm long, filament very fine and white. Flowering from January onwards with a peak flowering in March/April. Diagnosis: Thought to be a hybrid between C. ‘Federation Belle’ and C. ‘Dusky Bells’. This hybrid differs from C. ‘ Federation Belle ’ which has a pink and cream flower colour and the pink is slightly more orange in C. ‘ Kiss-Me-Kate ’ . Leaves of C. ‘ Federation Belle ’ are larger with apices more acute and the underside is paler green. Differs from C. ‘ Dusky Bells ’ which has longer and narrower flowers and the flowers are slightly darker pink. Calyx is green rather than tan and leaves are longer, narrower and elliptical in shape.

Correa ‘Canberra Bells’ is a small shrub which has red and cream bell shaped flowers which occur from late summer through to winter. The leaves are small rounded and olive green in colour. ‘Canberra Bells’ is the Australian plant chosen to celebrate the centenary of Canberra, 12th March 2013. Its masses of attractive flowers will be in full bloom for Canberra’s birthday each year.

Correa ‘Isabell’ is a spreading shrub that will grow to approximately 75cm high x 1.5 metres across. It has grey/green leaves that contrast beautifully with the soft pink flowers. Flowering is during autumn and winter.

Correa ‘Jezabell’ is a small shrub growing to approximately one metre tall. It has dark green leaves and red bell-shaped flowers. The flowers occur during autumn and winter.

A moderately dense tall shrub or small tree to a maximum of 3-4 metres high by 2 metres wide. Axillary spines solitary, straight to 25mm long. Leaves are simple, obovate to elliptic, glabrous. Flowers white (with pink buds) approximately 10-15mm in diameter. Fruit a cylindrical berry, 4-8 cms long, 15-25mm in diameter from August to September, dark green to black, vescicles translucent pale green. Diagnosis: C. ‘Alstonville’ is a tall growing selection which bears fruit earlier and in large clusters with few to no seeds.

Verticordia 'Venus Harlequin' forms a small open shrub from 45 cm x 19cm which flowers from November to March. The flowers are red-purple in colour and 12mm in diameter. Diagnosis: The main difference between this plant and Verticordia sp aff drummondii is the flower colour, as V. drummondii has pink flowers. The habit of the cultivar is smaller and less wide than V. drummondii.

This cultivar is a dense shrub which grows to a height of 1m by a width of 1.5m. The leaves are elliptical to obvate and terminate with sharp point. The leaf edges are rolled to the underside. Each leaf is up to 2cm long and about 6mm wide. The upper surface is rough to the touch due to a covering of minute projections, while the lower surface is tinged grey by a covering of long hairs. The deep pink flowers are produced in clusters on short branchlets. Each flower is about 1.3cm long with slightly deeper pink styles to 2.3cmm long. Diagnosis: 'Poorinda Rosy Morn' differs from both its parents in its deep pink flower colour. The leaves are similar in shape and texture but slightly larger than the usual G. lavandulacea. They are closer in size to G. baueri but are not glabrous. The styles of 'Poorinda Rosy Morn' are pubescent but less so than in G. baueri while those of G. lavandulacea are glabrous for most of their length.
