Grevillea tetragonoloba | |
Grevillea tetragonoloba is species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a dense, erect to spreading shrub, usually with pinnatipartite to almost pinnatisect leaves, the end lobes linear, and clusters of yellowish-brown to fawn flowers with a scarlet to orange-red style.
Grevillea tetragonoloba is dense, erect to spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 2.0–2.5 m (6 ft 7 in – 8 ft 2 in). Its leaves are 60–130 mm (2.4–5.1 in) long and mostly pinnatipartite to almost pinnatisect with 3 to 13 lobes, the end lobes linear, 30–130 mm (1.2–5.1 in) long, 0.8–1.5 mm (0.031–0.059 in) wide, sharply pointed and rectangular in cross-section. The flowers are arranged on one side of a rachis 45–115 mm (1.8–4.5 in) long, the flowers yellowish-brown to fawn with a scarlet to orange-red style, the pistil 22–25 mm (0.87–0.98 in) long. Flowering occurs throughout the year with a peak between October and March, and the fruit a follicle 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long. [3] [4] [5] [6]
Grevillea tetragonoloba was first formally described in 1856 by Carl Meissner in de Candolle's Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from specimens collected by James Drummond in the Swan River Colony. [7] [8] The specific epithet (tetragonoloba) means "four-angled lobe", referring to the cross-sectional shape of the leaf lobes. [9]
This grevillea grows in mallee heath, woodland and shrubland between Cape Riche and Needilup and near Bremer Bay in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia. [4] [3]

[3] Grevillea tetragonoloba is listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List and it's main threats include road and agriculture construction and weed invasion
