Grevillea striata, commonly known as beefwood or silver honeysuckle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to continental Australia.
[3] Grevillea striata is an erect, spindly shrub or robust tree with dark, fissured bark, that typically grows to a height of 3–15 m (9.8–49.2 ft), the trunk up to 60 cm (24 in) in diameter.
Flowering mainly occurs from August to December, and the fruit is an almost smooth, oblong to oval follicle 13–21 mm (0.51–0.83 in) long.
[2][4][5][6][7] Grevillea striata was first formally described in 1810 by botanist Robert Brown in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London, from specimens collected near the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
[4][7] Due to its durability and the fact that it splits readily, the timber was used by early settlers for fence posts, shingles and flooring.
