Abstract

Our simple model for developing underutilised endemic flora comprises an initial standardised selection process for prioritising genera with potential as cut flower or foliage.
Subsequently we used a vase life screening method and a propagation protocol which identified constraints and offered simple technical solutions to these constraints.
Genera selected for potential as cut flower and foliage were: Acacia, Banksia, Corymbia, Eucalyptus, Haemodorum, Lithomyrtus, Verticordia and Calytrix. Our investigations provide some baseline horticultural knowledge on genera which may have a role in new cut flower products.
