About Grevillea ilicifolia (R.Br.) R.Br.

Grevillea ilicifolia (R.Br.) R.Br. is an erect to spreading or prostrate shrub, that usually grows 0.3โ€“2 m tall and up to 3 m wide. Its leaves have variable shapes, most often egg-shaped in outline, measuring 18โ€“101 mm long and 3โ€“80 mm wide. Each leaf has between two and thirteen lobes, with every lobe being a sharply-pointed triangular to egg-shaped structure or tooth 7โ€“50 mm long and 0.8โ€“8 mm wide. The flowers are typically arranged in clusters along a rachis 20โ€“50 mm long, and have a color range from green to cream and mauve to grey. The pistil of the flower is 19.5โ€“25 mm long. The style is pink to red, sometimes orange to pale yellow, and has a green tip. Flowering takes place from September to November, and the fruit produced is a hairy follicle 10.5โ€“16.5 mm long. This species grows in mallee, heath, or shrubland habitats across south-eastern South Australia, including the Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island, western inland Victoria, and near Griffith in western New South Wales. The subspecies lobata is only found in north-western Victoria and the Murray and South-eastern botanical districts of South Australia.
