and held vertically above the foliage. Individual flowers are about 10mm
long and about 10mm wide.
Diagnosis:

in its very compact and numerous racemes with musk pink flowers. These
racemes are held vertically. The species usually has violet flowers. This

at the widest point. They are glabrous above and covered with fine, pale
coloured hairs below. The flowers are of the "toothbrush" type and are
borne terminally on the branches. The inflorescences are pinkish in colour
and are one sided as are the flowers of Grevillea longifolia. The racemes
of flowers are plus/minus 8cm long.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Poorinda Anticipation' has the typical habit of G. willisii
, being moderately dense with some long, spreading branches. The leaves are
intermediate between the parents, having the alternate lobing of G.
longifolia, but the greater width and more deeply dissected leaves of G.
willisii. Each lobe is tipped with a pungent point, similar to those found
on G. willisii.
