Grevillea cravenii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Grevillea cravenii faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat clearing for agricultural development and urban expansion across its limited range in Queensland. The species is particularly vulnerable to frequent bushfires that prevent successful regeneration, while invasive weeds compete aggressively with seedlings for resources. Mining activities and infrastructure development continue to fragment the remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural dispersal.
Habitat
Grevillea cravenii occurs in open eucalyptus woodlands and shrublands on sandy soils, typically growing on gentle slopes and ridge lines in southeastern Queensland. The species favors well-drained sites with scattered canopy cover, often associated with other endemic shrubs in the region's distinctive sandstone country.
