Grevillea miqueliana, commonly known as Oval-leaf Grevillea, is a shrub species which is endemic to mountainous areas of eastern Victoria in Australia. It grows to between 1.5 and 2.5 metres in height. The species was first formally described by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, his description published in Transactions of the Philosophical Society of Victoria in 1855.[1] The species epithet honours Dutch botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel (1811-1871).

There are currently three recognised subspecies:[2]

  • G. miqueliana subsp. cincta Molyneux & Stajsic also known as subsp. 'Mt Selma'[3]
  • G. miqueliana F.Muell. subsp. miqueliana, the "typical form" previously referred to as Grevillea victoriae 'race j'[4]
  • G. miqueliana subsp. moroka Molyneux & Stajsic, also known as the Mount Wellington form, subsp. 2 (Moroka) or Grevillea victoriae 'race k'[5]

On the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria cincta is listed as "Vulnerable in Victoria" while both miqueliana and moroka are listed as "Rare in Victoria".[6]
