Grevillea aspleniifolia |
Grevillea aspleniifolia, in the family Proteaceae, is endemic to New South Wales, Australia.
The plant is a shrub or small tree that ranges in height between 1–5 metres (3.3–16.4 ft). Its leaves are particularly long (1 foot (0.30 m)) and narrow (less than 0.5 inches (1.3 cm)). They have margins that range from coarsely toothed to entire.
The flowers are a deep to dull red in colour. They occur in 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) long one-sided racemes, which is typical of the commonly referred to "toothbrush grevilleas."
Grevillea aspleniifolia is cultivated as an ornamental plant by plant nurseries, for use in gardens and drought tolerant landscaping.
