Description

Grevillea dielsiana is a spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.6–2 m (2 ft 0 in – 6 ft 7 in) and has glaucous branchlets. The leaves are 30–80 mm (1.2–3.1 in) long and have three lobes, each usually with three further lobes, the end lobes linear and tapering, 2–25 mm (0.079–0.984 in) long and 0.8–1.3 mm (0.031–0.051 in) wide. The flowers are arranged in groups on a rachis 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) long and are red to orange, often with streaks of pink or cream, the pistil 26.5–36 mm (1.04–1.42 in) long. The style is red or pink, pale pink or white near the tip. Flowering occurs from August to September and the fruit is oblong to elliptic follicle 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long. [4] [3]

Taxonomy

Distribution and habitat

Diels grevillea grows in heath or shrubland between Geraldton, Mullewa and Shark Bay in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. [4] [3]

Conservation status

Grevillea dielsiana is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife It has a stable population and does not currently face any major threats. [1] [3]
