Description
This is the Australian native Red Spider Flower bush. This picture was taken at North Head, Sydney. The shrubs there grow up to about metre tall, but they known to grow up to 3 metres tall. But at North Head the constant strong wings may keep the low .
The species was first formally described in James Edward Smith's 1793 A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland as Embothrium sericeum var. major. In 1809 the plant was rediscovered, and Joseph Knight published it as Lysanthe speciosa, not realising that his material was attributable to Smith's E. sericeum var. major. In 1975 the species was transferred into Grevillea as G. speciosa. Smith's precedence would not be discovered until 2000.
