Grevillea eriobotrya F. Muell, Fragm. x. 44 (1876). 
G. Victori A. Morrison, the type of which is in the Edinburgh Her- 
barium, is synonymous with the above. The species is common in yellow sand 
over an area extending from Kununoppin to Koorda, and the species is a 
shrub 3 or 4 metres in height with white flowers. The seeds are thick, glabrous 
and hemispherical in an orbicular white villous follicle. They are much like 
those of G. annuli f era F. Muell.

AlTmity to G. asparagoides Meissn., differing in the simply pinnate 
glabrous and much longer leaves, and the absence of a glandular pubescence. 
There is a certain similarity in the leaves to those of G, Ilookeriana Meissn.,. 
but they are pungently acute and different in other respects.

Affinity to G. inslgriis Kipp. ex. Meissn., but with an indumentum of + 
rufous hairs throughout, that of the flowers being a I’usty red. The leaves are 
cuneate at the base, and vary from obovate to ovate in outline, resembling 
somewhat those of G. agrifolia A. Cnmi. in shape and texture. This interest- 
ing and apparently very rare species is known only from the original locality 
where only two or three plants were found.
