From Australian Native Plants Society website:
Corymbia Cultivars Family: Myrtaceae Common Name: Flowering gum Derivation of Name: Corymbia...from Latin, corymbium, a "corymb" referring to floral clusters where all flowers branch from the stem at different levels but ultimately terminate at about the same level. In recent years, a number of Corymbia cultivars have been developed which feature masses of brightly coloured flowers produced at the ends of the branches to provide a spectacular display. These cultivars include selected forms of well known species such as the Western Australian red flowering gum (Corymbia ficifolia) as well as hybrids using C.ficifolia, C.ptychocarpa (a tropical species) and possibly other species. Two of the most popular of these ficifolia/ptychocarpa cultivars are Corymbia "Summer Red" and Corymbia "Summer Beauty". |
