Looks to be the wrong leaf form for Grevillea lavandulacea...(see my image of the species which was seen at the Botanic Gardens Sydney and labelled). How big were the flowers Ernst? G. lavandulacea has diminutive flowers, just 30 - 40 mm diameter and are usually low growing, prostrate shrubs. Posted 5 years ago

  I did look at your image and checked many different websites. The flower cluster is no more then 30 t0 40 mm and the plant did grow low and was a prostrate scrub . I am aware that there are many cultivars . I will hopefully have a chance to catch up with a friend who might be of help ,but you might be correct as your image and mine do look quite different. Surtainly the leaves. I will let you know if I get a chance to catch up with him . Posted 5 years ago
