"Grevillea dryandri" was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in the "Transactions of the Linnean Society of London" from specimens collected in Arnhem Land. The specific epithet ("dryandri") honours Jonas Carlsson Dryander. In 1986, Donald McGillivray described two subspecies of "G. dryandri" and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census : Distribution and habitat. Subspecies "dasycarpa" grows in shrubby woodland on sandstone between Mataranka, Daly River and the Gove Peninsula in the northern part of the Northern Territory. Subspecies "dryandri" grows in open woodland or open shrubland, often in rocky places, from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, to the Northern Territory north of about Tennant Creek and to northern parts of Queensland, mainly as far as Mount Isa and Normanton. Conservation status. Both subspecies of "G. dryandri" are listed as of "least concern" under the Northern Territory Government "Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act".
