Grevillea leptopoda

The spreading to erect shrub typically grows to a height of 1 to 1.5 metres (3.3 to 4.9 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has dissected leaves with a blade that is 30 to 80 millimetres (1.2 to 3.1 in). It blooms between August and November and produces a terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with white, pink or cream flowers with white styles. Later it forms rugose ellipsoidal fruit that are 9 to 11 mm (0.4 to 0.4 in) long.[1] It regenerates from seed only.[2]

It can be confused with Grevillea teretifolia which has a shorter floral rachis and longer pistils.

Grevillea leptopoda is found in the Mid West and the Wheatbelt regions from Kalbarri south to Moora[2] growing among medium to low trees in tall shrubland, mallee or heathland It will grow in rocky, stony or sandy lateritic soils.[1]

The plant was first described by the botanist Donald McGillivray in 1986 in New Names Grevillea journal. It has a West Australian Flora Conservation Code of P3, which means it is poorly known.

Grevillea leptopoda has heavily scented flowers and is used in domestic gardens in warmer areas.[3]
