Grevillea edelfeltii, commonly known as white oak, is a tree of the family Proteaceae and is native to the rainforests of north-east Queensland in Australia and to Papua New Guinea.
[3] Grevillea edelfeltii was first formally described in 1885 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his book Descriptive Notes on Papuan plants, from material collected on the Astrolabe Range in Papua New Guinea.
[3] Grevillea edelfeltii is found in New Guinea and Australia, where it occurs in northeastern Queensland in the McIlwraith Range, in the vicinity of Coen, and from Cooktown south to Ingham.
[2] Foliage of the species is valued in floral arrangements for the unusual contrast of the dark green upper surface and gold to bronze underside.
[7] The species was one of 5 selected for trialling as "native foliage products" from a total of 21 based on an evaluation of vase life, adaptability to varied climates and market acceptance.
