It is a shrub that grows to 2 metres in height and up to 3 metres width and has attractive divided leaves The red inflorescences are about 15 cm long by 9 cm wide. The cultivar, which is a cross between a red-flowered form of ''Grevillea banksii'' and ''G. bipinnatifida'', was selected by David Gordon in Queensland for its prolific and sustained flowering. Trials, which began in 1963, demonstrated stability in its characteristics and it was released to the nursery trade in 1968. It was registered in 1973 under the name 'Robyn Gordon' in memory of a family member who died in 1969, aged 16.〔Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria, 'Dave Gordon, botanical collector', http://www.anbg.gov.au/biography/gordon-david.html, updated 13 November 2007.〕 Along with a number of other grevilleas, the cultivar may cause allergic contact dermatitis for certain individuals who come into contact with it.〔 *〕 Another cultivar 'Superb', which has the same parentage, has a similar general appearance, but has a more orange colouration in the flowers. ==See also== * Grevillea cultivars 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon'」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
