Grevillea 'Brookvale Letitia'
Note:
Received as G. 'Toowoomba Beauty'
This cultivar forms a tall pyramidal shrub to 4m tall by ca.
2m wide. The shrub retains branches right to ground level. The leaves are
deeply divided, almost to the midvein, and vary between ca. 9cm to 11cm
long by 5cm to 7cm wide at the widest point. The upper side of the leaf is
pale green and glabrous while the underside is covered with a dense
covering of pale hairs. The midveins are clearly distinguished on both the
upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. The stems and new growth are
covered with very fine hairs and these are slightly brownish in colour.
These hairs are persistent even on older branches. The hairs on the leaves
disappear as the leaf becomes mature. Each individual leaf lobe has a
prominent tip. The inflorescence is of the "toothbrush" type measuring ca.
6cm long. Individual flowers are 2.5cm long, with the perianth section
being silky hairy and a very pale orange in colour. The styles are red. The
flowers are densely packed on the rhachis. The flowering period is from
late July to approximately October in Toowoomba.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar is very different form both the putative parents.
The lobes of the leaves of the cultivar have a prominent though not pungent
tip, resembling those found on the leaves of G. acanthifolia, though the
leaf shape differs markedly form both parents. The flowers closely resemble
the "toothbrush" inflorescence of G. acanthifolia. The stems of Grevillea
'Brookvale Letitia' and G. barklyana are covered in fine hairs while in G.
acanthifolia these hairs are absent.
Crowea 'Pink Blush'
This cultivar grows to ca. 1m tall by 1.2m in width. The pink
flower buds open white and tinge pink as they age. The flowering season is
from November to June.
Diagnosis:
Other Crowea cultivars are quite distinct from this form.
Crowea 'Festival' has deep pink flowers, as does Crowea 'Coopers Hybrid'.
Crowea 'Poorinda Ecstasy' has pale pink flowers. The characteristic
difference between the above cultivars and Crowea 'Pink Blush' is that the
latter has pale pink flowers. The characteristic difference between the
above cultivars and Crowea 'Pink Blush' is that the latter has flowers that
open white and tinge pink as they age.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Gemini'
It is a small shrub growing to a height of about 1m. The
leaves are deeply lobed and about 130mm long by about 45mm wide. Individual
lobes are pointed and narrow being about 3mm wide. The upper surface is
dark shiny green while the underside is covered with dense silky hairs. The
deep red flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are produced terminally
on short branchlets and occasionally on the main stem opposite a leaf. The
perianths are about 8mm long and the pink styles are 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs from its stated parent in size of plant.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Gemini' grows to a height of about 1m whereas
Grevillea hookeriana usually attains a height of approximately 2m. The
difference in leaf size and flower colour are not significant.It differs
from Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie' which is also said to be a seedling
selection of Grevillea hookeriana in colour of styles.Grevillea 'Poorinda
Gemini' has pink styles compared with red for Grevillea hookeriana.
What is ACRA?
The Australian Cultivar Registration Authority (ACRA) is an organisation whose primary function is to register cultivars of Australian plants. The activities of ACRA are co-ordinated by the Registrar, Secretary and a committee formed by representatives of each of the major regional (State) botanic gardens, the Australian Native Plants Society, and the Greenlife Industry Australia.
