Grevillea confertifolia, commonly known as Grampians grevillea or dense-leaf grevillea, is a shrub species which is endemic to the Grampians in western Victoria, in Australia.[2]
It has a low spreading or erect habit, growing to 1 metre high. The leaves are linear or narrow-oblong elliptic. Flowers appear between August and December (late winter to early summer) in its native range. These have reddish purple perianths with pink or reddish mauve styles.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1855 by the Government Botanist of Victoria Ferdinand von Mueller in Transactions of the Philosophical Society of Victoria. His description was based on a collection from the summit of Mount William and on nearby rocky ridges.[1]
G. confertifolia occurs on rocky outcrops and near streams.[2] The species is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[3]
