''Grevillea fastigiata'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with clustered branches, linear leaves sometimes with rigid lobes near the tip, and clusters of brownish or scarlet flowers. Description ''Grevillea fastigiata'' is an erect shrub, typically high with clustered branches. The leaves are linear, long, sometimes with three to seven rigid, sharply-pointed, linear lobes long and long near the ends. The edges of the leaves are rolled under, obscuring most of the lower surface. The flowers are erect in toothbrush-like clusters along a rachis long. The flowers are pale brown to scarlet with an orange-red to scarlet style and the pistil is long. Flowering occurs from September to March and the fruit is a follicle about long. Taxonomy ''Grevillea fastigiata'' was first formally described in 1994 by Peter M. Olde and Neil R. Marriott in ''The Grevillea Book'' from specimens ...

Jerdacuttup River
Jerdacuttup River is a river located in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The water in the river is naturally saline.

Proteales Of Australia
Proteales is an order of flowering plants consisting of three (or four) families. The Proteales have been recognized by almost all taxonomists. The representatives of the Proteales are very different from each other. The order contains plants that do not look alike at all. What they have in common is seeds with little or no endosperm. The ovules are often atropic. Families In the classification system of Dahlgren the Proteales were in the superorder Proteiflorae (also called Proteanae). The APG II system of 2003 also recognizes this order, and places it in the clade eudicots with this circumscription: * order Proteales :* family Nelumbonaceae :* family Proteaceae family Platanaceae">Platanaceae.html" ;"title=" family Platanaceae"> family Platanaceae with "+ ..." = optionally separate family (that may be split off from the preceding family). The APG III system of 2009 followed this same approach, but favored the narrower circumscription of the three families, firmly reco ...

Grevillea
''Grevillea'', commonly known as spider flowers, is a genus of about 360 species of evergreen flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. Plants in the genus ''Grevillea'' are shrubs, rarely trees, with the leaves arranged alternately along the branches, the flowers zygomorphic, arranged in racemes at the ends of branchlets, and the fruit a follicle that splits down one side only, releasing one or two seeds. Description Plants in the genus ''Grevillea'' are shrubs, rarely small trees with simple or compound leaves arranged alternately along the branchlets. The flowers are zygomorphic and typically arranged in pairs along a sometimes branched raceme at the ends of branchlets. The flowers are bisexual, usually with four tepals in a single whorl. There are four stamens and the gynoecium has a single carpel. The fruit is a thin-walled follicle that splits down only one side, releasing one or two seeds before the next growing season. Taxonomy The genus ''Grevillea'' was first forma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
