Correa 'Redex'
Correa 'Redex' is a South Australian natural hybrid found on Kangaroo Island. Its parents are thought to be Correa reflexa and Correa decumbens and "Redex" is derived from these species' names (the 're' and 'x' from reflexa and the 'de' from decumbens!). It's not derived from the motoring products brand name. Some Correa enthusiasts tried to re-register the plant as Correa "Dancing Lipsticks" but this was rejected by the Australian registration authority as Correa "redex" was a prior name.
