I suspect not. The style does not appear hairy, and the flowers are not whitish at the base. For lanigera, the backs of the leaves should be hairy.

So what do you think it is?

No idea. The Plantnet key starts with whether the ovary is hairy or not. Easy with a flowering specimen in the hand, almost impossible in a photo. I suspect it is a hybrid or cultivar, which cannot be IDd with a key. Eg ianigera creates hybrid swarms with rosmarinifolia, with everything from almost lanigera to almost rosmarinifolia.

Grevilleas are a nightmare! Perhaps we should just call it grevillea sp.

Leave it till Michael Mulvaney gets back next week. He might have some ideas.

Sorry - I am also bereft of any ideas as to which Grevillea it is
