Taxonomy Grevillea jephcottii was first formally described in 1967 by James Hamlyn Willis in the journal Muelleria from specimens he collected on the south-west slopes of Pine Mountain in 1964. The specific epithet (jephcottii), honours the Jephcott family from Ournie, who were the first to collect specimens from the area. Sydney Wheeler Jephcott discovered the plant at the age of 14 in 1878. Distribution and habitat Pine Mountain grevillea occurs in a restricted area of north-eastern Victoria between Walwa and Corryong at altitudes ranging between where it grows in rocky places in dry forest.
