A random page in French said this:
Grevillea robusta peut être responsable de dermatose
irritative de contact. Cet arbre, ainsi qu G. striata
sont étudiés, pour leurs composants phénoliques, dans
les problèmes cardiovasculaires ainsi que pour leurs
propriétés anti-oxydantes. Certaines espèces telle G.
nematophylla étaient utilisées en médecine
traditionelle par les aborigènes.
Babelfish translation for non-Francophones:
Grevillea robusta can be responsible for irritating
dermatosis of contact. This tree, thus qu G striata
are studied, for their phenolic components, in the
cardiovascular problems like for their antioxidant
properties. Certain species such G nematophylla were
used in traditional medicine by the aboriginals.
