About Grevillea velutinella
This plant is an upright shrub that usually grows between 1.5 to 4 meters (about 5 to 13 feet) tall. Its branches are not covered in a waxy, bluish layer, which is called "non-glaucous."
What it Looks Like
The Grevillea velutinella has simple, flat leaves that are not divided into smaller parts. These leaves are shaped like an upside-down egg, wider at the top. They are typically 50 to 120 millimeters (about 2 to 4.7 inches) long and 35 to 80 millimeters (about 1.4 to 3.1 inches) wide.
Flowers and Fruit
This shrub blooms, or produces flowers, between March and July. Its flowers grow in clusters called racemes, which can be found at the end of branches or where leaves meet the stem. The flowers are usually green, cream, or yellow, and their styles (a part of the flower) are also green, cream, or yellow.
After the flowers, the plant forms fruits. These fruits are rough, egg-shaped, and smooth (glabrous). They are about 14 to 20 millimeters (about 0.5 to 0.8 inches) long.
