Plant description

A spreading dense shrub that may be prostrate or up to 2m high. It grows on dunes or in sand over limestone. The brown warty fruit is a follicle with two winged seeds. These grevillea flowers are designed for insect pollination, whereas many species with red or orange flowers attract birds with their nectar. Butterflies such as the painted lady sip nectar from the flowers.
