About Grevillea dimorpha F.Muell.

Grevillea dimorpha F.Muell., commonly known as flame grevillea, is an erect to spreading shrub that usually reaches a height of 0.4 to 3 meters (1 foot 4 inches to 9 feet 10 inches). Its leaves range in shape from elliptic to linear or egg-shaped with the narrower end toward the base, and measure 50 to 150 millimeters (2.0 to 5.9 inches) long and 1.5 to 20 millimeters (0.059 to 0.787 inches) wide. The edges of the leaves are turned down or rolled under, and the lower leaf surface is covered in silky hairs. Its bright red flowers are most often arranged in down-turned clusters of two to sixteen blooms in leaf axils, with a pistil that is 21 to 26 millimeters (0.83 to 1.02 inches) long. Flowering occurs mainly from August to December, and the fruit is an elliptic follicle 12 to 16 millimeters (0.47 to 0.63 inches) long with a bumpy surface. This grevillea grows in heathy woodland and forest on sandy soil in the Grampians National Park, Victoria.

Flame grevillea is the common name of this species.
