About

Grevillea trachytheca, commonly known as rough-fruit grevillea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect to spreading shrub with hairy branchlets, mostly broadly linear leaves, and white to cream-coloured and yellow flowers with a white style.
