Description


The spreading spiny shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 1.5 metres (1.6 to 4.9 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple dissected tripartite leaves with a blade that is 20 to 100 millimetres (0.79 to 3.94 in) in length. It blooms between July and November and produces an axillary or terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with white or cream flowers and white to cream styles. Later it forms wrinkled oblong or ellipsoidal glabrous fruit that are 7 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 in) long.[1]


Taxonomy


It was first described as Anadenia trifida by the botanist Robert Brown in 1810, then transferred to genus Grevillea in 1845 by Carl Meissner in Proteaceae as a part of the Johann Georg Christian Lehmann work Plantae Preissianae. The only other synonym is Grevillea brevicuspis.[2]


Distribution


The range of the shrub extends from Pinjarra in the north southward to Augusta in the south west and Cheynes Beach (to the east of Albany in the south east. It is found in habitats that can be quite swampy and grows in sandy to gravelly soils.[1]
