Grevillea intricata is a densely branched shrub that typically grows to a height of and has tangled foliage. Its leaves are long and divided with widely-spreading linear lobes, the end lobes long and wide. The flowers are pale greenish-white to light cream-coloured and are arranged in sometimes branched clusters, each branch oval to narrowly conical on a rachis long, the pistil long. Flowering occurs from May to October and the fruit is a knobbly, oblong follicle long.[1]
Grevillea intricata was first formally described by botanist Carl Meissner in Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany based on material collected by James Drummond.[2] [3] The specific epithet (intricata) means "entangled".[4]
This grevillea grows in heath, or tall shrubland and mallee shrubland between Northampton, Ajana and the Chapman East River in the Geraldton Sandplains bioregion in the west of Western Australia.
Grevillea intricata is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
