Three of these - ''[[Grevillea exul|G. exul]].'', ''[[Greviileea gillvayi|G. gillvayi]]'', and ''[[Grevillea meisneri|G. mesneri]]'' are endemic to New Caledonia while ''[[Grevillea elbertii|G. elbetii]]'' and ''[[Grevillea papuana|G. papuana]]'' are endemic to Sulawesi and New Guinea respectively. Two other species, ''[[Grevillea baileyana|G. baileyana]]'' and ''[[Grevillea glauca|G. glauca]]'', occur in both New Guinea and [[Queensland]]. ==Uses== ===Traditional Aboriginal use=== Grevillea flowers were a traditional favourite among Aborigines for their sweet [[nectar]]. This could be shaken onto the hand to enjoy, or into a [[coolamon]] with a little water to make a sweet drink. They might be referred to as the original "bush lollies". ===Cultivation=== [[Image:Phylidonyris novaehollandiae 01.jpg|thumb|[[New Holland Honeyeater]] on ''[[Grevillea aspleniifolia]]'', [[Australian National Botanic Gardens]], Canberra]] Many species are cultivated for their distinctive foliage and showy [[flower]]s, and they have been extensively [[Hybrid (biology)|hybridised]]. They can be grown from soft tip [[cutting]]s from December-March (in the [[Southern Hemisphere]]) or [[seed]]. Many harder to grow species can be grafted onto hardy rootstock such as ''[[Grevillea robusta]]''. Grevilleas hybridise extremely easily in cultivation. this has resulted in a huge number of named [[Grevillea cultivars]]. They are also good bird-attracting plants, honeyeaters in particular are common visitors. They are also used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including the [[Dryandra Moth]]. There is an active '''Grevillea Study Group''' in [[Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants|ASGAP]] for people interested in Grevilleas, both for uses in horticulture and for conservation in the wild. ==References== *[http://www.anbg.gov.au/abrs/abif/flora/stddisplay.xsql?pnid=2555 ABRS Flora of Australia online: ''Grevillea''] == External links == * [http://asgap.org.au/greville.html The Grevillea Page] of [[ASGAP]] * [http://www.grevilleapark.org/ The Illawarra Grevillea Park Page] <gallery> Image:Grevillea.jpg|''Grevillea banksii'' Image:Grevillea candelabroides mingenew email.jpg|''G. candelabroides'', Mingenew Image:Grevillea dielsiana.jpg|''Grevillea dielsiana'' Image:Grevillea wickhamii aprica grafted email.jpg|''G. wickhamii aprica'' Image:Grevillea rivularis.jpg|''G. rivularis'' Image:Grevillia banksii0.jpg </gallery> {{Commons|Grevillea}} {{wikispecies|Grevillea}} [[Category:Grevillea]] [[Category:Plants named after people]] [[Category:Bushfood]] [[de:Grevilleen]] [[es:Grevillea]] [[fr:Grevillea]] [[pt:Grevillea]] [[sv:Grevilleor]] [[th:สนเกรวิลเลีย]]
