Grevillea 'Poorinda Anticipation'
This cultivar grows to plus/minus 2m tall by plus/minus 2.5m
wide. It forms a moderately dense shrub with some long, spreading branches.
The leaves are deeply dissected and are 18-20cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide
at the widest point. They are glabrous above and covered with fine, pale
coloured hairs below. The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are
borne terminally on the branches. The inflorescences are pinkish in colour
and are one sided as are the flowers of Grevillea longifolia. The racemes
of flowers are plus/minus 8cm long.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Poorinda Anticipation' has the typical habit of G. willisii
, being moderately dense with some long, spreading branches. The leaves are
intermediate between the parents, having the alternate lobing of G.
longifolia, but the greater width and more deeply dissected leaves of G.
willisii. Each lobe is tipped with a pungent point, similar to those found
on G. willisii.

material) NBG registered No. 70050.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Joyce'
This cultivar grows to around .7m tall by up to .75m wide with
medium dense grey green foliage. The leaves are ca. 10mm long by 2mm wide,
glabrous on the upper surface and densley covered with hair on the lower
surface. The leaf margins produced in sparse clusters, and the perianth
tube is ca. 10mm long. They are deep pink in colour, grading to an ivory
colour on the perianth limb. The styles are deep pink and ca. 20mm long.
Flowering is from August to October.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from its parents in having narrower leaves
than G. alpina but wider than Victorian forms of G lavandulacea. The flower
colour is similar to some forms of G. lavandulacea. The flower colour is
similar to some forms of G. lavandulacea but markely different to G. alpina
. Grevillea 'Poorinda Joyce" is a hybrid with the same parents as
Grevillea 'Poorinda Rosy Morn' and Grevillea ' Poorinda Joyce' are slightly
smaller in size than those of Grevillea 'Poorinda Joyce' differs from
Grevillea 'Poorinda Tranquility by being smaller in total size and leaf
size. The flowers are similar in both cultivars, however Grevillea
'Poorinda Joyce' is darker in colour.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Tranquillity'
Grevillea 'Poorinda Tranquillity' grows to a height of about
1m and a width of about 1.25m. The leaves are glabrous on the upper
surface, with a dense covering of silvery hairs on the lower surface. They
are about 3cm long and about 7mm wide with pungent tips and rolled edges.
Flowers are borne in dense clusters on short branchlets. Each flower is
more or less 1.2cm long. The perianth tube is pink, grading to cream
towards the limb. The styles are a deeper shade of pink.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Poorinda tranquillity' is immediately distinguishable from
both of its parents. The leaves are as wide as G. alpina but longer, and
are wider and longer than G. lavandulacea but less rolled at the edges. The
flowers are in terminal clusters on much longer branchlets than G.
lavandulacea. The styles are long and moderately hairy, not short and
densely hairy like G. alpina or almost glabrous like G. lavandulacea.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Ensign'
This cultivar grows to .8cm tall. The leaves are glabrous on
the upper surface and covered with silky hairs beneath. The leaves can be
up to 28mm long though mostly are around 15-20mm long by 1-4mm wide. The
leaf shape is variable, and occasional lobed leaves are found. All lobes
and leaf tips end in a pungent point. The leaf edges are rolled under. The
flowers are a bright pink and found in dense clusters on short terminal
branchlets. Each flower is around 8mm long. The styles are up to 25mm long
and are a much darker pink.
Diagnosis:
G. lavandulacea and G. ilicifolia vary considerably over their
natural occurrence. The cultivar is very different to its purported
parents. Grevillea 'Poorinda Ensign' very occasionally has lobed leaves and
this is probably the only characteristic that can be directly attributed to
G. ilicifolia.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Jennifer Joy'
This cultivar is a bushy shrub which grows to a height of 1.5m
by up to 1m wide. The lanceolate leaves are ca. 25mm long by 5mm wide. The
upper surface of the leaf is shiny and dark green and the underside is
greyish due to a dense covering of short silky hairs. The leaves are flat
with thick margins and have a pungent tip. Flowers are produced in terminal
clusters on short lateral branches. The perianths are mauve and are ca.
10mm long. The style is up to 15mm long and much the same colour as the
perianth. As the follicles develop the styles remain attached, during which
time they colour to a rich red.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Poorinda Jennifer Joy' leaves are intermediate
between those of the parents. G. speciosa has ovate to elliptical leaves;
G. linearifolia has linear leaves. However, at a glance the leaves of the
cultivar more closely resemble those of G. speciosa. The flowers are very
numerous in each cluster of G. speciosa and are most often deep red in
colour. The flowers of the cultivar are much smaller than those of G.
speciosa. The flower clusters of G. 'Poorinda Jennifer Joy' are larger than
G. linearifolia, and individual flowers are slightly larger. The flower
colour of this species is from white to pale pink. The cultivar has flowers
intermediate in size and colour.

Grevillea 'Red Hooks'
A rounded, dense shrub up to 3m high by 4-5m across, with more
or less horizontal branches. The bright green leaves are pinnately lobed,
with narrow-linear lobes to about 30 mm. Overall leaf length is up to 15cm.
The bright red, toothbrush-like racemes are usually held horizontally and
are about 70mm long. They appear for most of the year but give a maximum
display in winter and spring. The perianth is greyish green and the long,
smooth style is bright red and tends to bend backwards.
Diagnosis:
The herbarium specimen is quite different to either supposed
parent. G. 'Red Hooks' has 10 deep lobes in each leaf. Each lobe is 1-2 cm
wide and revolute. Each lobe is up to 4cm long. G. tetragonoloba has deeply
divided leaves with 3 lobes each revolute, length 2cm. G. longifolia has
flowers not as dense as the other two with taller styles but these are very
prominent. Leaves are 15.5cm long.
Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Lime-Light'
It is an erect, sparse shrub growing to a height of up to 3m
by 2.5m wide.The leaves are up to 20mm long by about 1mm wide.The leaf
edges are tightly recurved. The flowers are borne in small clusters at the
ends of short branches. Individual flowers are lime green and about 7mm
long and the styles are 17mm long . The main flowering period is from April
to September.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from other known forms of
G.rosmarinifolia in its erect, sparse habit of growth and lime green
flowers. It is outstanding in its production of masses of lime green
flowers during the winter months. It is different from G. rosmarinifolia
'Lara Dwarf' in its erect habit and lime green flowers. G.rosmarinifolia
'Lara Dwarf' is prostrate and has creamy white, blushed pink flowers.
Notes:
Lomandra confertifolia 'Mist'
A small clumping grass-like perennial with arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes. Comparitors: L. 'Mist', L. 'Merlon Ruby', L. Seascape', L. 'Silver Grace', L. 'LCS1'. Diagnosis: Main differences from other similar varieties: Inflorescence length very short with few flowers and basal sheath: extent of colour along stem - long
Lomandra montana 'LLM500'
Small strappy leaved shrub 0.3m–0.4m(h) x 0.6m(w). Flowers cream from Apr–Oct
Lomandra multiflora 'VER1'
Small strappy leaved shrub 0.5m(h) x 0.4m(w) with scented yellow flowers.
