Description
Grevillea longifolia grows as a shrub anywhere from 1.5 to 5 m (5-15 ft) high. It has long narrow leaves 10-22 cm (4-9 in) long and 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 in) wide. The leaves have coarsely toothed margins. Appearing from July to January and peaking in September, the inflorescences are 4-7.5 cm (1.6-3 in) long and composed of scores of smaller individual flowers, arranged in a "toothbrush" pattern. Flowering is followed by hairy seedpods, which are prone to predation.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
