Taxonomy

Grevillea cheilocarpa was first formally described in 2000 by Robert Owen Makinson in the Flora of Australia, based on plant material collected in the Dragon Rocks Nature Reserve in 1984.[1][3] The specific epithet (cheilocarpa) means "beak-fruited", referring to a flange on the fruit.[4]

Distribution and habitat

Grevillea cheilocarpa usually grows in low heath and is only known from the type location and between Hyden and Varley in the Mallee biogeographic region of inland south-western Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

Although it is only known from two locations and has a restricted distribution, there are no known current major threats to the species. It is listed as "not threatened", by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[2] Increased fire frequency may pose a threat in the future.[5]
