Grevillea involucrata, also known as Lake Varley Grevillea, is a low-growing shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows up to 0.5 metres in height and produces pink flowers between June and October (early winter to mid spring) in its native range.[1][2]

The species was formally described in 1974 by botanist Alex George in Nuytsia, based on plant material collected between Hyden and Lake Varley.[3]
