About

Grevillea hilliana, commonly known as white silky oak, white yiel yiel, Hill's silky oak and grey oak, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a tree with lance-shaped to oblong or lobed adult leaves and cylindrical clusters of large numbers of white to pale green flowers.

Where it grows

White silky oak grows in, or near the edges of rainforest in near-coastal areas from sea level to an altitude of 600 m (2,000 ft) and is found from near Cooktown in far northern Queensland to near the Brunswick River in north-eastern New South Wales. In New South Wales, it is only known from small, fragmented populations near Brunswick Heads and in remnant patches of habitat in the Tweed Shire.
