There are over 20 study groups within the Society whose aims are to further knowledge about the cultivation, propagation and conservation of specific Australian plants. In all study groups, the members' work is carried out in their own homes and gardens and in their own spare time.

The Boronia and Allied Genera Study Group

This Group was formed with the aim of studying most of the genera within the tribe Boronieae. It includes Correa but specific work on that genus is left to members of the Correa Study Group (see below). Members of the Group are mainly keen amateurs with no formal horticultural or botanical knowledge, although a number of professionals in those fields also participate.

The Group's newsletters document reports from members into cultivation issues, propagation methods and natural occurrences of different species. The newsletters also include information on the taxonomy of the plants being studied, including details of new and reclassified species.

The Correa Study Group

Correa is one of the most widely cultivated members of the Boronia group but it is also one of the most confused. Although there are only 11 species, there are a large number of cultivars in existence and the naming and origins of many of these are invalid. There are a number of identical plants being cultivated under different names and other cultivars are being cultivated under names which are appropriate to completely different forms.

One aim of this Group is to address this confusion by growing and comparing as many of the existing species and cultivars as possible. The Group issues regular newsletters documenting cultivation reports from members, providing botanical keys to the species, organising and reporting on field excursions and describing propagation methods, successes and failures.
