The species range from prostrate shrubs less than 0.5 m tall to trees 35 m tall. Common names include Grevillea, Spider Flower, Silky-oak and Toothbrush.

[edit] Cultivation
Many species are cultivated for their distinctive foliage and showy flowers, and they have been extensively hybridised. They can be grown from soft tip cuttings from December-March (in the Southern Hemisphere) or seed.
Many harder to grow species can be grafted onto hardy rootstock such as Grevillea robusta.
Grevilleas hybridise extremely easily in cultivation. this has resulted in a huge number of named Grevillea cultivars.
They are also good bird-attracting plants, honeyeaters in particular are common visitors.
[edit] Research
There is an active Grevillea Study Group in ASGAP for people interested in Grevilleas, both for uses in horticulture and for conservation in the wild.
