Grevillea rosmarinifolia (Rosemary Grevillea) is a plant of the family Proteaceae.

Grevillea rosmarinifolia usually occurs as a small to medium, shrub to 0.3–2 meters high.[1]

The leaves resemble rosemary - narrow-linear, stiff with sharp points and curled-under margins, 0.8-3.8 cm long and 0.7–3 mm wide.[2]

G. rosmarinifolia produces clusters of red or pink flowers from winter to spring.[1] The flowers are rich in nectar and attract nectarivorous insects and birds.
