Grevillea manglesii is a shrub which is endemic to an area around Perth in Western Australia. It usually grows to around 3 metres in height and 4 metres in width and produces white flowers throughout the year.[1][2]

The species was first formally described by Robert Graham, his description published in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal in 1839.[3] Graham described the species based on a plant which had been sent to the Botanic Garden Edinburgh by the Clapton Nursery in London with the unpublished name Grevillea manglesii. Graham gave it the name Anadenia manglesii.[4] In 1858 French botanist Jules Émile Planchon transferred the species to the genus Grevillea.[3]

There are 3 recognised subspecies:

  • Grevillea manglesii subsp. dissectifolia (McGill.) McGill.
  • Grevillea manglesii (Graham) Planch. subsp. manglesii
  • Grivillea manglesii subsp. ornithopoda (Meisn.) McGill.

Cultivation[]

This species is hardy in cultivation, including humid areas and has proved useful as a screening shrub. It will grow in both full sun and part shade and prefers a well-drained situation.[5]
