Didi, I do never wish to cause your annoyance, but I must say that I am confused, for *Grevillea banksii* R. Br. have different leaves <http://plants.usda.gov/java/largeImage?imageID=grba_001_ahp.tif>. If we are talking about Grevillea "Superb", then it is a hybrid between *banksii* and *bipinnatifida*. If we say G. banksii "Superb" that would mean, I think, a non-hybrid species.
