Description

Grevillea berryana is a shrub or tree that typically grows to a height of 1.5–8 m (4 ft 11 in – 26 ft 3 in). Its leaves are pinnatipartite, 60–200 mm (2.4–7.9 in) long with two to seven linear lobes 40–150 mm (1.6–5.9 in) long and 0.7–2.0 mm (0.028–0.079 in) wide, or sometimes linear. The lower surface of the leaves has two longitudinal grooves. The flowers are arranged in cylindrical panicles 20–60 mm (0.79–2.36 in) long with two to six branches. The flowers, including the style are pale cream-coloured to yellow and the pistil is 10.5–13.0 mm (0.41–0.51 in) long. Flowering mainly occurs from December to February and the fruit is a glabrous follicle 10–17 mm (0.39–0.67 in) long. [3] [4]

Taxonomy

Grevillea berryana was first formally described in 1909 by Alfred James Ewart and Jean White in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria from specimens collected by Frederick Arthur Rodway near Malcolm in 1907. [5] [6] The specific epithet (berryana) honours Richard James Arthur Berry. [7]

Distribution and habitat

This grevillea grows in a range of habitats from grassland to shrubland in flat to rocky places and is widely distributed between Menzies, the eastern Gibson Desert, Mount Magnet and the lower Fortescue River in northern Western Australia. [3] [4]

Conservation status

Grevillea berryana is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and as least concern" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. [3] [1]
