Grevillea quercifolia, commonly known as the oak-leaf grevillea, is a species of flowering plant in the protea family and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a straggly to sprawling shrub usually with pinnatifid or serrated leaves, and oval to cylindrical clusters of pale to deep pink flowers.
Grevillea quercifolia is a straggly to sprawling shrub that typically grows to up to high and wide. Its leaves are usually pinnatifid to more or less serrated, glabrous, oblong to narrowly egg-shaped, mostly long and wide, with about 5 to 15 triangular to oblong lobes long and wide. The flowers are usually arranged on the ends of branches in oval to cylindrical clusters on a rachis long, and are pale to deep pink, the pistil long. The fruit is an oval to elliptic follicle long.[1]
Grevillea quercifolia was first formally described in 1830 by Robert Brown in his Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae.[2] [3] The specific epithet (quercifolia) means "oak-leaved".[4]
Oak-leaved grevillea is widespread in the south-west of Western Australia, where it grows in heathland, shrubland or woodland from a little north of Perth to Augusta and east to Mount Barker and Albany in the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
This grevillea is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
