Grevillea milleriana is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae native to a restricted distribution in the Maddens Plains area in New South Wales, Australia. It is currently only known from the holotype specimen.[1]
Description
[edit]Grevillea milleriana is a low, spreading, sub-prostrate shrub which grows up to 0.3 metres (0.98 ft) tall and 0.5 metres (1.6 ft) wide, with the lowest branches trailing along the ground. The leaves are 5–8.5 centimetres (2.0–3.3 in) long and 15-35 mm wide and are either lobed or entire with 0-8 broadly triangular lobes. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous or nearly so and the lower surface of the leaves is sericious. The flowers are arranged on an inflorescence 35-45 mm long and 15mm wide. Each flower is on a peduncle 5-12 mm long, the perianth is 6-7 mm long, pink outside and purplish-pink inside with a brown, sericious perianth limb 1.25-1.8 mm long. The style is reddish-pink, glabrous and long with a yellow pollen presenter. The appearance of the new leaf growth, follicles and seeds is currently unknown.[1]
