BeadleÕs grevillea is a spreading shrub, up to 2.5 m tall and wide. It has dissected and rather soft leaves about 12Ð16 cm long. There are short hairs on the upper surface and the lower surface is thickly felted with curled hairs. The scarlet flowers are the Ôtooth-brushÕ type and are held prominently at the ends of the branchlets. The fruit is a hairy capsule that splits into two at maturity (OEH, 2015).
