Appearance
''Grevillea petrophiloides'' is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–4 m . Its leaves are 60–250 mm long and divided, with three to nine lobes that are sometimes divided again, resulting in more than ten end lobes that are linear, 10–130 mm long and 0.5–3.5 mm wide. The flowers are arranged in clusters on the ends of sometimes branched canes held above the foliage, the clusters cylindrical on a rachis 60–200 mm long. The flowers are usually pink to reddish pink and bluish-grey, varying with subspecies, the pistil 14–21.5 mm long. Flowering time varies with subspecies and the fruit is an oval to more or less spherical follicle 7–18 mm long.Distribution
Subspecies ''magnifica'' grows on or near granite outcrops mainly between Tammin and Pantapin in the Avon Wheatbelt and Mallee bioregions, subspecies ''petrophiloides'' in shrubland or heath on sandplains between the lower Murchison River, Quairading and Hyden in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Mallee bioregions and subspecies ''remota'' grows on or near granite outcrops from near Varley to Norseman in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.Status
Subspecies ''magnifica'' and ''petrophiloides'' are listed as "not threatened" but subspecies ''remota'' is classified as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.Habitat
