Grevillea intricata is an openly-branched, prostrate to low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of 15–50 cm (5.9–19.7 in) and up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) wide.

Flowering occurs from June to October and the fruit is a hairy, oblong to elliptic follicle 13–15 mm (0.51–0.59 in) long.

[2][3][4] Grevillea involucrata was first formally described in 1974 by botanist Alex George in the journal Nuytsia, based on plant material he collected between Hyden and Lake Varley in 1970.

[2][3] Grevillea involulacrata is listed as "threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is in danger of extinction.
