About Grevillea floribunda R.Br.
Grevillea floribunda is a spreading shrub that usually grows 0.4 to 1.8 meters (1 foot 4 inches to 5 feet 11 inches) tall. Its leaves range from oblong to egg-shaped, are mostly 20 to 80 millimeters (0.79 to 3.15 inches) long and 2 to 20 millimeters (0.079 to 0.787 inches) wide, and have soft hairs on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in groups of six to twenty, most often at the ends of branches. The perianth is greenish, covered in woolly rusty-brown hairs, and the pistil is 9.0 to 19.5 millimeters (0.35 to 0.77 inches) long. The ovary is sessile and the style is reddish. Flowering can happen in any month, with a peak in spring, and the fruit is a hairy follicle 10.5 to 17 millimeters (0.41 to 0.67 inches) long. This grevillea, commonly known as seven dwarfs grevillea, grows in forest and woodland. It is widespread across the tablelands and western slopes of New South Wales, and in south-eastern Queensland. There is one unconfirmed record of this species from Killawarra Forest in Victoria. The subspecies Grevillea floribunda tenella is only found in the Darling Downs region of Queensland.
