Note:
Received as C. 'Anglesea' Mary D. White.
Erect shrub to ca. 1 m x 1.5 m with an open habit. Branchlets
highly tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming brown and
glabrous with age. Leaves simple, oblong-cordate leaves, 25mm x 9mm,
shortly petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases subcordate, venation
reticulate, entire margins with white-coloured stellate hairs. Upper
surfaces of mature leaves dark green and scabridulous. Upper surfaces of
young leaves pale green and finely tomentose with white-coloured stellate
hairs. Lower surfaces of leaves minutely densely tomentose with white
stellate hairs and becoming rust coloured and more concentrated on the
veins and margins. Peduncles axillary, calyx hemispherical with 4 minute
teeth, 4 mm high, fawn coloured with scattered rust-coloured stellate
hairs. Corolla cylindrical 35 mm x 9 mm, deep red graduating to pale green
at tips, which are barely reflexed and covered with a fine tomentum of

Grevillea 'Poorinda Anticipation'
This cultivar grows to plus/minus 2m tall by plus/minus 2.5m
wide. It forms a moderately dense shrub with some long, spreading branches.
The leaves are deeply dissected and are 18-20cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide
at the widest point. They are glabrous above and covered with fine, pale
coloured hairs below. The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are
borne terminally on the branches. The inflorescences are pinkish in colour
and are one sided as are the flowers of Grevillea longifolia. The racemes
of flowers are plus/minus 8cm long.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Poorinda Anticipation' has the typical habit of G. willisii
, being moderately dense with some long, spreading branches. The leaves are
intermediate between the parents, having the alternate lobing of G.
longifolia, but the greater width and more deeply dissected leaves of G.
willisii. Each lobe is tipped with a pungent point, similar to those found
on G. willisii.
