About Grevillea juncifolia Hook.
Grevillea juncifolia Hook., commonly known as honeysuckle grevillea, is a bushy shrub or small tree that usually grows 2–7 metres (6 ft 7 in – 23 ft 0 in) tall and has woolly-hairy branchlets. Its leaves are either linear, 100–300 mm (3.9–11.8 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide, or divided into roughly parallel lobes 15–220 mm (0.59–8.66 in) long. The edges of leaves or their lobes are rolled under, with two parallel woolly-hairy grooves on the lower leaf surface. Flowers are arranged in branched clusters of 15 to 50, growing on a rachis 50–170 mm (2.0–6.7 in) long. The blooms are bright yellow, sometimes orange, and have a pistil 18–27 mm (0.71–1.06 in) long. Flowering can happen in most months of the year, with a peak flowering period from June to November. The fruit that forms after flowering is a hairy follicle 15–29 mm (0.59–1.14 in) long. This species grows in open shrubland or woodland on sandplains, stony hills and open plains across inland Australia. It occurs in all mainland Australian states and the Northern Territory, but is not found in Victoria or Tasmania. The subspecies G. juncifolia subsp. temulenta is restricted to Western Australia. Indigenous Australians use this grevillea for food and medicine.
