What about this I found on the web links?

Description

The Anglesea Grevillea Grevillea infecunda is an open, root-suckering shrub 0.3–1.2 m high. Leaves are 3–7 cm long, variable in shape, being either lobed, ovate, rhombic or oblong, coarsely toothed and prickly. The upper surface is dark green and hairless, while the lower surface is paler green and sparsely hairy. Flowers are yellow-green and brown with curved tubes about 8 mm long, hairy outside, hairless inside, and splitting into four petals to release a pale yellow-green red style to 25 mm long. Flowering time is from October to December. The fruit is a leathery, hairy capsule that splits to release winged seeds.
Grevillea infecunda populations exhibit variable characters, particularly leaf shape, although the taxonomic and genetic significance of this variability is not known.Pollen viability and fertility are extremely low, and this species has apparently lost the ability to reproduce sexually. Root-suckering is the only means of vegetative spread, and, as a result, all existing populations are now effectively isolated from one another. Root-suckering may be stimulated by fire or slashing, however appropriate burning and/or slashing regimes for this species have not been identified.
