About Grevillea bipinnatifida R.Br.
Grevillea bipinnatifida is a spreading shrub that usually grows 0.25 to 1.0 metres (9.8 inches to 3 feet 3.4 inches) tall. Its leaves are typically bipinnatifid, measuring 40 to 150 millimetres (1.6 to 5.9 inches) long and bear six to eighteen lobes; the end lobes are mostly triangular, 3 to 20 millimetres (0.12 to 0.79 inches) long and 5 to 10 millimetres (0.20 to 0.39 inches) wide, with sharply pointed tips. The flowers are arranged along a 40 to 200 millimetre (1.57 to 7.9 inch) long rachis, and range in color from dull pink to crimson, occasionally pale green or pale orange. The pistil of this species is 34 to 42 millimetres (1.3 to 1.7 inches) long. Flowering occurs mainly from June to December, and the fruit is a woolly-hairy follicle 17 to 21 millimetres (0.67 to 0.83 inches) long. Commonly called fuchsia grevillea, this plant grows in heath, open forest, and woodland between Mogumber and Collie. It is found mainly on the Darling Range, within the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. Subspecies pagna is only known to occur near Waroona, where it grows in shrubland.
