GENETIC RESOURCES FOR CHAMELAUCIUM UNCINATUM (GERALDTON WAX)

Genetic resources in C. uncinatum are diverse in their ecology (soil, climate) and morphology (plant, flower, bud). The differences in ecology, plant and floral morphology, floral colouration and flowering period provide a basis for selection of new variants for a variety of edaphic conditions, and the potential to increase the range of flower colours and size over an extended flowering season.
