Grevillea reptans

Grevillea reptans is usually a prostrate to arching sub-shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 30 cm (12 in) and has long, pliable, vine-like or arching branches. The leaves are more or less linear, 6–12 mm (0.24–0.47 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide with the edges rolled under. The flowers are arranged on the ends of branches in branched clusters on a peduncle 10–40 mm (0.39–1.57 in) long, each branch of the flowering clusters with 16 to 24 flowers on one side of the flowering rachis, the youngest flowers towards the ends of the rachis. The flowers are mauve-pink and woolly- to shaggy-hairy, the style becoming red as it ages, the pistil 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) long. Flowering mainly occurs from August to November, and the fruit is a follicle 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) long.

Tin Can Bay grevillea grows in shrubby woodland and heathy wallum in scattered places between Burrum Heads, Tewantin and Cooloola National Park, north of Brisbane in south-eastern Queensland.
