'''''Grevillea juniperina''''', commonly known as '''Juniper Grevillea''', is a [[shrub]] which is endemic to eastern [[New South Wales]] and south-eastern [[Queensland]] in [[Australia]]. It has a spreading or erect habit and it grows to between 0.2 and 3 metres in height. The leaves are prickly and are 0.5 to 3.5 cm long and 0.5 to 6 mm wide. Flowering occurs throughout the year, peaking between mid winter and early summer. The spider-like flowers are red, pink, orange, yellow or greenish. The type specimen for this species was collected from [[Port Jackson]] area and was described by botanist [[Robert Brown (botanist)|Robert Brown]] in 1810 who gave it the specific epithet ''juniperina'' which alludes to its [[juniper|juniper-like]] foliage. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== There are currently seven recognised subspecies: *''G. juniperina'' subsp. ''allojohnsonii'' Makinson - red flowers *''G. juniperina'' subsp. ''amphitricha'' - from the [[Shoalhaven River]] area *''G. juniperina'' subsp. ''fortis'' Makinson - mostly within the [[Australian Capital Territory|ACT]] *''G. juniperina'' R.Br. subsp. ''juniperina'' - endemic to western [[Sydney]] *''G. juniperina'' subsp. ''sulphurea'' (A.Cunn.) Makinson (formerly var. ''trinervata'') *''G. juniperina'' subsp. ''trinervis'' (R.Br.) (formerly ''Grevillea trinervis'') *''G. juniperina'' subsp. ''villosa'' Makinson - from the [[Braidwood, New South Wales|Braidwood]] / Currockbilly area. A number of cultivars have been selected for horticultural use, including the following: *'Lunar Light' - variegated leaves and orange-pink flowers *'Molonglo' is a form with a low spreading habit and larger orange flowers with red styles. It was bred from two disparate forms of ''juniperina'', an erect red-flowered form from around Canberra and a yellow-flowered spreading prostrate form from the western slopes of the [[Budawang Ranges]] in 1964.<ref>[http://www.anbg.gov.au/acra/descriptions/acc002.html]</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
