Grevillea deplanchei is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to south-eastern New Caledonia.[2][3]
Taxonomy
Grevillea deplanchei was first scientifically described in 1865 in Bulletin de la Société botanique de France. It was formerly described as a subspecies of Grevillea gillivrayi by Robert Virot in 1968, but was most recently elevated to species status in the botanical journal Phytotaxa in 2020.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Grevillea deplanchei is endemic to the southern massif of mainland New Caledonia. It grows in riparian scrubland on ultramafic and serpentine soils from 6 metres (20 ft) to up to 900 metres (3,000 ft) above sea level. Its occurs in approximately 8 subpopulations with an extent of occurrence (EOO) estimated at 1,519 km² and area of occupancy (AOO) estimated at 108 km².[1]
Conservation status
This species of grevillea is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is threatened by habitat disturbance through the change of river flows from gravel deposits, soil erosion, uncontrolled bushfires and mining activities. It is also threatened by logging as its wood is used for barbeques.[1]
