McGillivray, D.J. & R.O. Makinson Grevillea - a taxonomic revision. Melbourne University Press, 1993 (465 pp.). A revision of the whole genus, with keys, descriptions, and many colour and line illustrations. A weighty botanical text, not a field guide. First definitive revision this century, although several taxa recognised as subspecies and races are likely to be raised to species rank in the near future; this book will however still allow identification of these taxa. Does not include some very newly discovered species. Not cheap at $225, but definitive so far.]
