Grevillea robusta was first described in 1830 by Allan Cunningham, who was employed by the Superintendent of Kew, William T. Aiton, to write Hortus Kewensis and was then sent by Kew to collect plants in Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. Allan succeeded his brother Richard as Superintendent of the Botanic Garden in Sydney in 1836. In subtropical areas silky oak forms a large upright tree, with spreading lower branches. Its flowers, which open from October to December, are rich in nectar and attract birds and fruit bats. The seedlings, with their ferny foliage and silky new growth, make attractive houseplants.
