Correa 'Ian Fardon'
Large spreading dense shrub with upright habit to 1.5 m x 2 m.
It has long ascendant stems. Leaves are on short petioles, dark green,
lanceolate, shiny, glabrous, leathery and convex on top, pale green and
velvety with tiny rusty stellate hairs underneath and having obtuse tips.
28 mm x 8 mm in size. It has the typical aromatic smell of leaves in the C.
glabra group. The ends of young branches are rusty tomentose. Flowers on
short pedicels occur singly at the ends of short branchlets. The pedicels
also have a pair of deciduous bracts. The corolla, which is 2.2 cm x 0.8 cm
in size, is reddish pink with mid green tips and a band of purplish green
in between. The tips are barely recurved. Stamens are exerted. The calyx is
green and cup-shaped with minute teeth. The calyx folds over maturing seed.
Peak flowering is from Summer to Winter with spasmodic flowering most of
year.
Diagnosis:
It appears to be a garden hybrid with C. glabra var turnbullii
and C. reflexa as possible parents. This variety differs from C. glabra var
turnbullii, in that the leaves are smaller and narrower and have some rusty
tomentum on the underside. The flowers appear to be longer and have a band
of a third colour on the corolla. It still has the characteristic aromatic
smell of C. glabra varieties and the flower colour is similar to other C.
glabra var turnbullii forms.
