Abstract

The large and colourful cut inflorescences of the terminal flowering tropical Grevillea species and hybrids are considered by enthusiasts to have potential as a cutflower crop. Developing understanding of the characteristics of grevillea inflorescences is collated in this review article. Botany, quality, cultivars, production and marketing, physiology and biochemistry, growth and development, flowering regulation, senescence, postharvest losses, pests and diseases, loss reduction measures, and use of floral preservatives for cut inflorescences are discussed. This overview of current knowledge provides a platform for future research and development on this novel native Australian flower.
