Grevillea repens (Creeping Grevillea) is a prostrate shrub which is endemic to Victoria, Australia.
It grow to 3 metres in diameter. Flowers appear between October and April (mid spring to mid autumn) in its native range. These have perianths which are light green or grey and green-tipped styles that are otherwise deep burgundy in colour or, less commonly, dull pink, yellow or green.
G. repens occurs in montane eucalypt forests in two discrete populations with distinct forms, one in west Healesville (G. repens 'Mt Slide form') and the other in Daylesford known as G. repens 'Daylesford form' or G. repens 'Sailors Falls' .
The species was first formally described by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1854, his description published in Linnaea. It is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.
