Description
Grevillea candolleana is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 20–80 cm (7.9–31.5 in). Its leaves are narrow egg-shaped to narrow elliptic or linear, 10–35 mm (0.39–1.38 in) long and 1–9 mm (0.039–0.354 in) wide, with the edges turned down or rolled under. The lower surface of the leaves is covered with soft, felty hairs. The flowers are white to cream-coloured, the pistil 9.5–11.5 mm (0.37–0.45 in) long and covered with shaggy hairs. There is a tongue-shaped, yellow appendage 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long on the style, that turns orange, then red as it ages. Flowering mostly occurs from August to November and the fruit is a softly-hairy follicle 8.5–11 mm (0.33–0.43 in) long.[2][3]
