Sub-species
subsp. supplicans	
Conservation status, Endangered
This low to semi prostrate shrub has branchlets that are normally arranged on one side of the arching branch and forms a bushy habit.  It has a dark green linear leaves up to 60 mm long with strongly recurved margins.  

The white to purplish flowers are similar to Grevillea linearifolia which is a plant that is found in the same habitat and appear from early to late spring. 

This Grevillea has restricted distribution in north-west Sydney near Hornsby and Baulkham Hills growing in shrubby woodlands, on yellow clay soils that become periodically wet. The plant is under threat from fragmentation due to loss of habitat as urban development expands and frequent fires that inhibit the plant to create seeds. 

Weed invasion is also limiting available habitat and changing climatic conditions is affecting plant populations.
