About Grevillea quercifolia R.Br.
Grevillea quercifolia R.Br., commonly called oak-leaved grevillea, is a straggly to sprawling shrub. It usually grows up to 0.6 m (2 ft 0 in) tall and reaches 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) wide. Its leaves are typically oblong to narrowly egg-shaped, mostly pinnatifid to roughly serrated, and glabrous. Most leaves are 35–200 mm (1.4–7.9 in) long and 25–60 mm (0.98–2.36 in) wide, with between 5 and 15 triangular to oblong lobes that measure 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long and 2–10 mm (0.079–0.394 in) wide. Its flowers are usually arranged at the ends of branches in oval to cylindrical clusters, growing on a rachis 15–50 mm (0.59–1.97 in) long. The flowers range from pale to deep pink, and have a pistil 9–11.5 mm (0.35–0.45 in) long. The fruit produced is an oval to elliptic follicle that is 18–20 mm (0.71–0.79 in) long. This species is widespread in the south-west of Western Australia. It grows in heathland, shrubland, or woodland, ranging from just north of Perth south to Augusta and east to Mount Barker and Albany. It occurs within the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain, and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
