Grevillea vestita ssp vestita Endemic

Grevillea vestita whole Grevillea vestita close

This was a medium sized shrub with very distinctive mucronate tripartite leaves and all at this site were absolutely covered in flowers. Not for the first time I mistook it for a Hakea but experience has told me that it's best to assume both genera might give a clue to the identification of the plant.

Grevillea vestita is found around the Perth area in good numbers as ssp vestita and down south to Margaret River but becomes less common as you go north until around the north of Geraldton it becomes common again as ssp isopogoides.
