About

Grevillea williamsonii, also known as Williamson's Grevillea, is a shrub which is endemic to a restricted area in the Grampians Ranges in western Victoria. It was first described from a single plant in 1893, which was destroyed by bushfire four years later. It was then feared extinct and went unrecorded until 1992, where 12 plants were found. The taxonomic validity of this grevillea has been disputed, and many sources treat it as synonymous with G. aquifolium.

The species is known only from a single area in the Grampians Ranges in western Victoria.
