Olde, P.M. & Marriott, N.R. (30 December 1993), New species and taxonomic changes in Grevillea (Proteaceae: Grevilleoideae) from south-west Western Australia. Nuytsia 9(2): 271-274, Fig. 11 [tax. nov.]
  • Type: Western Australia: North-east of Darkan, near Dardadine [precise locality withheld], P. Olde 91/234, 26 September 1991 (holo: PERTH; iso: CANB, NSW).
  • Etymology: "The epithet honours Mrs Valma Crowley (1937-), amateur naturalist, of Darkan, W.A. who, with her friend Mrs Janice Smith (1933-), also of Darkan, discovered the new species in a gravel pit while bushwalking near her home. Mrs Crowley first drew our attention to this species and forwarded specimens from each plant. The ongoing concern of the two co-discoverers for its conservaiton has enabled this species to be preserved in its natural habitat."
