Description

Grevillea fasciculata is an often spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in). Its leaves are narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, or more or less linear, 10–50 mm (0.39–1.97 in) long and 1–6 mm (0.039–0.236 in) wide. The edges of the leaves are turned down or rolled under, the upper surface of the leaves more or less smooth, the lower surface silky- or woolly-hairy or obscured. The flowers are arranged on short side branches, usually in erect in clusters of three to ten flowers on a rachis 0.2–2 mm (0.01–0.08 in) long. The flowers are red and orange or orange and yellow, the pistil 6.5–8.5 mm (0.26–0.33 in) long. Flowering occurs from May to November and the fruit is a narrowly oval follicle 10–14.5 mm (0.39–0.57 in) long. [3] [4]

Taxonomy

Grevillea fasciculata was first formally described in 1830 by Robert Brown in the Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae from specimens collected by William Baxter near King George Sound in 1829. [5] [6] The specific epithet (fasciculata) means "clustered", referring to the flowers. [7]

Distribution and habitat

This grevillea grows in woodland, mallee shrubland and scrub, mainly between Bremer Bay, Borden, Cranbrook and Albany in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. [3] [4]

Conservation status

Grevillea fasciculata is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. [4] It has a relatively wide distribution, is locally common and does not appear to be facing any major threats, either currently or in the near future. Its population is stable and it occurs within multiple protected areas. [1]
