Appearance
"Grevillea rogersoniana" is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–4 m, but sometimes to as much as 8 m. Its leaves are spatula-shaped to wedge-shaped, 40–100 mm long and 4–35 mm wide with 3 to 5 rounded teeth or shallow lobes on the end. Both sides of the leaves are silky-hairy at first, but soon glabrous. The flowers are arranged on the ends of branches in cylindrical clusters on a rachis 40–60 mm long. The flowers are bronze-coloured in the bud stage, later reddish pink, the style pink with a cream-coloured tip, the pistil 14–18 mm long. Flowering occurs from August to October, and the fruit is a glabrous, elliptic to more or less spherical follicle 13.5–20 mm long.Distribution
Rogerson's grevillea grows in tall woodland or "Banksia" scrub on sand dunes in an area south of Shark Bay, in the Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia.Status
"Grevillea rogersoniana" is listed 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.References:
