Grevillea maxwellii is a shrub which is endemic to the south west region of Western Australia. It grows to between 0.2 and 1.2 metres in height. The flowers, which have a pink-orange or pink-red perianth and pink-red style, appear in May and from September to November in the species' native range.[1] The species was first formally described by Donald McGillivray in 1986, his description published in New Names in Grevillea (Proteaceae).[2] It is classified as "Declared Rare Flora" under the Wildlife Conservation Act in Western Australia.[1]
