The Grevillea Book: Vol 2

With over 340 species, Grevillea is the third-largest genus in the Australian flora and is considered by many to be the most popular in cultivation. The genus features notable variation between and within species where diversity of habit, foliage and flower is often a challenge to the taxonomist and a delight to the horticulturist.

This book describes 182 species in alphabetical order from A to L and contains over 500 photos.

Each species treatment features a botanical description with diagnostic illustrations, references, and ecological and distribution notes including maps and climatic data. Each treatment is accompanied by at least one photo, sometimes more, to assist in recognition and to display the beauty of this most attractive genus.

While some of the more spectacular species are well known in horticulture, many other species are yet to be widely appreciated for their attractive habit, interesting flowers and their capacity to attract nectar-feeding birds.

Notes on cultivation, propagation and horticultural features are provided to assist both the home gardener and the professional landscaper to better grow and use the genus.
