About Grevillea longistyla Hook.
Grevillea longistyla Hook. is a shrub that typically reaches a height of 1.5 to 5 meters (4 feet 11 inches to 16 feet 5 inches) and forms a lignotuber. Its leaves are 120 to 300 millimeters (4.7 to 11.8 inches) long. Leaves can be either simple, or divided into two to six lobes; both undivided leaves and lobes are 1.5 to 4 millimeters (0.059 to 0.157 inches) wide and do not have sharp points. The edges of the leaves are turned downward or rolled under. The flowers grow in groups that are sometimes branched, attached to a rachis that is usually 25 to 85 millimeters (0.98 to 3.35 inches) long. Flowers are red, orange-red, or bright pink, and the pistil is usually 40 to 52 millimeters (1.6 to 2.0 inches) long. Flowering can occur in most months of the year, with the peak blooming period from August to November. The fruit is an oblong follicle 10 to 14 millimeters (0.39 to 0.55 inches) long that has a rough surface. This grevillea most commonly grows in woodland or forest habitats. It is found between Chinchilla, Gurulmundi, and Blackdown Tableland National Park in central and south-eastern Queensland.
