Habit near Ravensthorpe

Grevillea huegelii, commonly known as comb spider-flower or comb grevillea,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia. It is an erect to low-lying shrub with divided leaves with mostly three to eleven sharply-pointed linear lobes, and clusters of red to pink flowers that are silky-hairy on the outside.

Description

Grevillea huegelii is an erect to low-lying or straggling shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Its leaves are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide in outline with mostly three to eleven sharply-pointed, linear lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the edges rolled under obscuring most of the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in loose clusters on a silky-hairy rachis usually Шаблон:Cvt long, the perianth straight, red to pink and silky-hairy on the outside, the pistil Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs in most months with a peak from July to December, and the fruit is a glabrous follicle Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3][4][5]

Taxonomy

Grevillea huegelii was first formally described in 1845 by Carl Meissner in Johann Georg Christian Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected near the Avon River, near York in 1839.[6][7] The specific epithet (huegelii) honours Charles von Hügel.[8]

Distribution and habitat

Comb spider-flower grows in a variety of habitats, including mallee woodland and heath and has a disjunct distribution in southern continental Australia. In Western Australia it is widespread from Moora to Borden and east to Cundeelee and Balladonia. It is also widespread in the southern half of South Australia, the north-west of Victoria and in western New South Wales.[1][2][3][4][5]

Conservation status

Grevillea huegelii is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[9][3]

The species has experienced rapid declines and significant habitat loss due to land clearing for agricultural purposes. Its population is believed to be declining and it is limited to roadside verges within much of its distribution. However, this threat is not significant enough to warrant a threatened category, as the species has a vast and widespread distribution where it is locally common and substantial habitat remains.[9]
