Appearance

It grows as an upright, open shrub from one to two or sometimes three metres high. It has angular, ridged branchlets and long, straight leaves from three to eleven centimetres long, and one to five millimetres wide. Flowers are white, sometimes with a faint pink tinge. As with other ''Grevillea'' species they occur in an inflorescence of many flowers.

Distribution

The species is endemic to eastern New South Wales. It occurs mainly from Gosford and Putty, south to the Parramatta River and Port Jackson. There are also some disjunct populations that differ slightly from the Gosford form, but have been placed provisionally in this species. These occur near Lawson in the lower Blue Mountains, just inland from Ulladulla, and near Nowra. The species has also been reported to occur in Victoria, for example in the 4th edition of ''A Census of the Vascular Plants of Victoria'', but according to the ''Australian Plant Census'' these collections actually belong to a range of other species, specifically: ''G. alpivaga'', ''G. neurophylla'', ''G. patulifolia'', ''G. gariwerdensis and ''G. micrantha''.

It grows in moist but well-drained soils, mostly sandy soils over sandstone; its habitat is generally amongst shrubby eucalypt woodland.
