goldfields grevillea

Grevillea dryophylla is a spreading to erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1.5 m (1 ft 0 in – 4 ft 11 in) and has hairy branchlets. Its leaves are 20–85 mm (0.79–3.35 in) long and 20–70 mm (0.79–2.76 in) wide in outline, and usually have three to seven lobes 6–30 mm (0.24–1.18 in) long and 5–20 mm (0.20–0.79 in) wide, occasionally simple or with two to five teeth. The tips of the teeth or lobes are usually sharply pointed, the edges are turned down and the lower surface in covered with wavy to curly hairs. The flowers are arranged in groups on a rachis 10–40 mm (0.39–1.57 in) long and are green to light brown or dull yellow, the pistil 13.5–15.5 mm (0.53–0.61 in) long with a glabrous red to pink or dull yellow style. Flowering occurs from August to November and the fruit is a glabrous, silky-hairy follicle 9–12.5 mm (0.35–0.49 in) long.

Goldfields grevillea occurs in dry sclerophyll forest in an area bounded by St Arnaud, Bendigo, Castlemaine and Maryborough.
