Description
editGrevillea subterlineata is an open shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.0–2.5 m (3 ft 3 in – 8 ft 2 in) and has silky-hairy branchlets. The leaves are linear, 60–130 mm (2.4–5.1 in) long,1.7–2.5 mm (0.067–0.098 in) wide and have the edges rolled under, with 3 longitudinal veins on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in down-curved or pendulous, oval to cylindrical clusters on a woolly-hairy rachis 7–20 mm (0.28–0.79 in) long. The flowers are white with a pink tinge, the style with a green tip, and the pistil 14–17 mm (0.55–0.67 in) long. Flowering occurs in August.[2][3]

Distribution and habitat
editThis grevillea is only known from an area east of Gascoyne Junction in the Carnarvon, Gascoyne and Murchison bioregions of south-western Western Australia, where it grows in open shrubland and mulga woodland.[3]
