Grevillea asteriscosa, commonly known as star-leaf grevillea,[1] is a shrub which is endemic to the south-west region of Western Australia. It grows to between 0.3 and 2.6 metres in height. The red flowers usually appear from July to November in the species native range.[1]
The species was formally described in 1904 by German botanist Ludwig Diels, based on plant material collected about 150 kilometres north of the Stirling Range. [2]
It is similar in appearance to G. pilosa.[3]
