Grevillea plurijuga

Grevillea plurijuga is a shrub native to the southern Western Australia.[1] Grevillea plurijuga has two subspecies (plurijuga and superba), both common within the Esperance region with subsp. plurijuga mainly occurring to the northeast in the drier mallee that typically has a fine sand/clay soil over limestone but can also be found on clay and gravel. In its habitat it is often low and sprawling, or sometimes a more upright shrub to 2 metres (over 6 feet) in height. The flowers are around 4 cm overall (1 1/2 inches) and are site on a leafless recurred flowering stem, so they are below the overall height of a shrub or trail near the ground. It is this feature along with more narrow leaf segments that distinguish it from subsp. superba.[2]
