Flowers of Grevillea (just like other Proteaceae) have unusual-looking inflorescences. Their flowers are coiled and curled and are sometimes referred to as spider flowers.
The flower structure is not only unusual looking but it's also hiding a special part called a pollen presenter.
What is a pollen presenter and what function does it have in plant pollination? We will look at this structure in detail on flowers of Grevillea robusta (silk oak).
