Grevillea evansiana is a low, dense, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 50 cm (20 in), rarely to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) and has branchlets covered with white, woolly hairs.

[3][4][5] Grevillea evansiana was first formally described in 1953 by Hugh Shaw MacKee in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales from specimens he collected near the Cudgegong River in the Rylstone area in 1951.

[7] Evans grevillea usually grows in forest or woodland, sometimes in swampy heath and is only known from east of Rylstone in New South Wales.

Although it has a limited range, its population is assumed stable and its threats are not major enough to warrant a threatened or near-threatened category.

[1] Both the IUCN and the EPBC Act have identified habitat disturbance and trampling from recreational activities as a threat to the species.
