Grevillea maherae

Grevillea maherae is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to an area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. [1]

The low spreading lignotuberous shrub typically grows to a height of 0.15 to 0.5 metres (0.5 to 1.6 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has flat undissected trullate leaves with a blade that is 40 to 65 millimetres (2 to 3 in) in length and 25 to 35 mm (0.98 to 1.38 in) wide. It blooms from December to March and produces a terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with red, purple or pink flowers. Later it forms ellipsoidal simple hairy fruit that is 11 to 19 mm (0.4 to 0.7 in). [1]

Grevillea maherae is able to regenerate from both seed, lignotuber and rhizome. [2]

It is found in tall and low shrubland and Eucalyptus miniata woodland on Mount Elizabeth Station. [2] The shrub grows in sandy or loamy soils on sandstone. [1]
