Grevillea obtusifolia (Obtuse-leaved Grevillea) is a shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows up to between 0.5 and 1.5 metres in height and up to 5 metres in width. It produces pink to red flowers between August and November (mid winter to late spring ) in its native range.
The species was first formally described by botanist Carl Meissner, his description published in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis in 1856.
