Stenomera prostrate red (Grevillea pinaster)
Description
Grevillea pinaster is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to south-western Western Australia. It grows to between 0.5 and 3 meters in height and has a peak flowering period between May and September (late autumn to early spring) in its native range. The flowers are pink to red with yellowish- tipped styles. The long and narrow leaves are 20 to 55 mm long and 1 to 2 mm wide. The species was first formally described by Carl Meissner in Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany in 1855, from material collected by James Drummond. The species occurs in a small area from north of Eneabba to Bindi Bindi. Plants labelled as Grevillea stenomera in plant nurseries are often forms or hybrids of this species.
