'''''Grevillea acanthifolia''''' is a [[shrub]] which is endemic to [[New South Wales]] in [[Australia]].
It grows up to 3 metres in height and has divided leaves. The "toothbrush" flowers have a green to grey [[perianth]] with a pink to maroon [[Carpel|style]] and green tip. These appear from
mid spring to late summer (October to February in Australia).
The [[type specimen]] was collected by botanist [[Allan Cunningham (botanist)|Allan Cunningham]] who accompanied [[John Oxley]] on his 1817 expedition. Cunningham found the species growing in "peaty bogs on the [[Blue Mountains]] and [the] banks of [[Cox's River]]". The species was first formally described by him in 1825.
Three subspecies have been identified as follows:
*''Grevillea acanthifolia'' A.Cunn. subsp. ''acanthifolia''
*''Grevillea acanthifolia'' subsp. ''paludosa'' Makinson & Albr. ('''Bog Grevillea''')
*''Grevillea acanthifolia'' subsp. ''stenomera'' (F.Muell. ex Benth.) McGill.
