Grevillea chrysophaea, commonly known as Golden Grevillea, is a shrub which is endemic to Victoria in Australia.

This species is a spreading, or occasionally prostrate, shrub and ranges between 0.3 and 2.5 metres in height. Its leaves are entire, oblong-elliptic to linear, and are 1.5 to 6 cm long and 3 to 15 mm in width. The flowers range in colour from a dull to golden yellow and have a red to orange-red style. They are most prolific between early winter and early summer.

Cultivation

Plants are best suited to coastal or mountain environments (within Australia) and prefer light, moist soils in a protected situation.

Propagation

Propagation is from seed or cuttings, although the latter are difficult to strike.

Varieties

Named forms include:

• 'Brisbane Ranges form'
• 'Gippsland form'
• 'Holey Plains form'

The form described as Grevillea chrysophaea var. canescens H.B.Will. is not currently recognised as a separate variety. It is procumbent and compact and has smaller flowers but produces them in greater numbers.The type specimen was collected at Sperm Whale Head.

The variant previously known as Grevillea sp. aff. chrysophaea or Grevillea aff. chrysophaea (Nowa Nowa) is currently regarded as a separate species, Grevillea celata Molyneux.
