The flowers are whitish and tinged with violet, the pistil Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering mostly occurs in August and September, and the fruit is a sticky, oval follicle Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy

This species was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley who gave it the name Anadenia tenuiflora in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[4][5] In 1845, Carl Meissner transferred it to Grevillea as G. tenuifora in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[6] The specific epithet (tenuiflora) means "thinly or delicately flowered".[7]

Distribution and habitat

Tassel grevillea grows in heath, shrubland or woodland between York, Armadale and Wagin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia. It grows in gravelly, sand or clay soils over laterite.[1][2]

Conservation status

Grevillea tenuiflora is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
