This cultivar grows to 1.5m tall by 1.5m wide. It has a fairly open habit. The flowers open to a deep red and lighten as they age to a deep pink. Other features of the plant are as for C. citrinus. Diagnosis: The cultivar is another very attractive colour variant of C. citrinus. The flower colour changing from red to deep pink is a very distinctive feature of the cultivar as compared to the deep crimson of C 'Splendens' and the white flowers of C. 'White Anzac'.

Note: Formerly Callistemon 'Endeavour' A rounded, compact shrub to 2m high by 2m across sometimes taller in ideal conditions. Leaves are lanceolate elliptical, 90mm long by 20mm wide. They young growth which emerges from the flower spike is pinkish and slightly hairy. The mature leaves are glabrous. The brilliant red flowers are borne prolifically in spikes to 12cm long by 7cm diameter. They are at their peak in late spring but are seen in other seasons in temperate areas. Diagnosis: The cultivar may be distinguished from other forms of C. citrinus by its very large, well displayed flower spikes and its compact habit. SYNONYMS:C. citrinus var. splendens; C. citrinus 'Endeavour'; C. 'Endeavour'

This cultivar is a tall erect shrub to 4m tall by up to 2m across. The bark is semi-papery. The leaves are narrow lanceolate and 65mm long by 6mm wide. The flowers are a bright red in colour and are borne in densely packed terminal racemes in spring and summer. Diagnosis: This cultivar is more erect than either of the parent species. The flowers are also held more erect and larger than the parent species. The new leaf growth is not red.

A tall, spreading shrub to 5m high by 5m across, occasionally taller in ideal conditions, with pendulous branches that reach to the ground. Leaves are narrow-lanceolate and up to 70mm long by 5mm wide. Leaves and young stems are covered with long, silky hairs and abundant oil dots are obvious under a lens. The red, bottlebrush flowers are about 90mm long by 50mm diameter and small leaves are often seen within the flower spike. Main flowering periods are spring and autumn but some flowers are found at most seasons in mild climates. Diagnosis: Many forms of C. viminalis are in cultivation; and are often difficult to distinguish. This cultivar may be identified by its narrow leaves, long, often continuous, flowering period and its bushy, pendulous habit.

Correa pulchella ‘Little Cate’ is a moderately dense, spreading evergreen shrub which has grown to approximately 60cm high by 1m wide after 3 years in cultivation. Leaves are generally ovate to broad ovate, of variable size but up to 25mm long by 17mm wide. Flowers are a uniform bright pink. The corolla tube is 25mm long x 8mm wide. The flowers are profuse and prominently displayed, contrasting well with the dark foliage, and flowering continues for a long period. Peak flowering time is between April and July. Diagnosis: Thought to be a hybrid between two forms of Correa pulchella (a small leaved upright orange form and C. ‘Pink Mist’). C. ‘Little Cate’ differs from C. ‘Pink Mist’ in the colour of the flowers, which are a deeper/brighter pink and in its more spreading growth habit. The growth habit seems to be similar to C. ‘Dusky Bells’, however C. ‘Little Cate’ can easily be distinguished by its leaves which are darker green, thicker, and generally shorter and wider than those of C. ‘Dusky Bells’. The flowers of C. ‘Little Cate’ are also more prominently displayed and less concealed by the foliage.

Fairly loose, open shrub to 4-5m tall. The new growth is coppery pink. The leaves are narrowly elliptic to narrow-oblanceolate, 42-64mm long, and 6-9mm wide. The leaf stalk is 1-1.7mm long, margins slightly recurved (on herbarium specimens at least); reticulate venation clearly visible. Flower spike moderately open to relatively dense, ca. 35mm wide. Stamens ca. 44-50, ca. 15mm long, pink at the tip, pale at the base. Anthers yellow. Style exceeding stamens, pale green. Fruit not seen. Flowering period mostly spring and late summer. Diagnosis: Differs from C. 'Glasshouse Country' in: flowers redder and larger darker leaf colour of older leaves larger leaves prominent pale green styles Differs from C. recurvus in: pale flower colour with stamens pale at base paler, longer and wider leaves leaves with less recurved margins (at least in dry specimens) As with C. 'Tin-Sal Glow' there is a superficial resemblance to pink forms of C. seiberi (syn. C. palludosus). However, the pale bases to the stamens and slightly recurved leaf margins of C. 'Country Sprite' are distinct.

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.

Acacia ' Gold Lace' is a perennial shrub with a trailing prostrate growth habit. Its flowering is observed to differ from the standard A. cardiophylla form. Flowering occurs from August to mid September, when the plants produce many mildly perfumed golden yellow globular heads about 1cm in diameter in dense ancillary racemes 3-5cm, long. The foliage of 'Kuranga Gold Lace' is typical A. cardiophylla and not observed to differ from the standard form. The stems' prostrate growth habit is the main characteristic distinguishing 'Kuranga Gold Lace' from other A. cardiophylla. The stems of 'Kuranga Gold Lace' also differ from those of the standard A. cardiophylla in becoming tortuous with age. Diagnosis: This variety is distinct from all other known varieties in having the following combination of characters: a prostrate trailing growth habit (attaining little more then 20cm height) with stems becoming slightly tortuous in age. GROWTH HABIT prostrate & trailing erect & arching All characteristics described and comparisions are from comparative growing trials conducted at Wandin North, Victoria in 1989. Trials consisted of 25 plants 'Kuranga Gold Lace' grown from cuttings (potted January, 1989) with 25 plants grown from A. cardiophylla seed (sown August 1988 - potted January 1989), all in 15cm pots outdoors. Potting mixture was 'Debco' soilless mix. Measurements of 20 randomly selected plants were taken in April, 94 days after potting. Four year old tub grown plants of the variety were also measured.

Diagnosis: Agonis 'Variegata' differs from other known forms of this species in its variegated leaves. The variegation consists of a yellow border varying in width from 0.5-1mm, and a pale green mid portion from 1-2mm broad with a darker midrib in some leaves. Reversion to normal leaves can occur as is demonstrated on the specimen described here. The green leaves, produced on a lateral branchlet, are in general larger than the variegated leaves. In this specimen the former are 45-80mm long and 2-4mm broad, the variegated leaves on the other hand, are 20-50mm long and 2-4mm broad. In addition the green portion of the variegated leaves is paler than the normal leaf colour and seem to emphasis an overall less vigorous appearance. NB. In the above cultivar name the latinized form is conserved in accordance with part 'b' of article 27 in The International Code of Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants.

Diagnosis: The distinguishing feature which makes this plant different from the normal form is that the leaves are much more crowded. Individual leaf lamina are generally narrower than normal, the lamina always ending a third to a half the way along the leaf. The remainder of the leaf is reduced to a thread-like extension of the mid-rib.
