Banksia Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. Banksias range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall. They are found in a wide variety of landscapes; sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts.

Flora of Australia The flora of Australia comprises a vast assemblage of plant species estimated to over 20,000 vascular and 14,000 non-vascular plants, 250,000 species of fungi and over 3,000 lichens. The flora has strong affinities with the flora of Gondwana, and below the family level has a highly endemic angiosperm flora whose diversity was shaped by the effects of continental drift and climate change since the Cretaceous. Prominent features of the Australian flora are adaptations to aridity and fire which include scleromorphy and serotiny. These adaptations are common in species from the large and well-known families Proteaceae ("Banksia"), Myrtaceae ("Eucalyptus" - gum trees), and Fabaceae ("Acacia" - wattle).

Banksia rufa Banksia rufa is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. It was first published by Carl Meissner in 1855, where it was given the name Dryandra ferruginea by Richard Kippist. The following year, Meisner published what was purportedly a distinct species, "Dryandra runcinata". In 1870, George Bentham maintained "D. runcinata", but demoted "D. ferruginea" to a variety of "Banksia proteoides" (King Dryandra). This stood until 1996, when Alex George restored the specific rank of "D. ferruginea", and declared "D. runcinata" its synonym.

Brown's taxonomic arrangement of Banksia Robert Brown's taxonomic arrangement of "Banksia" was published in his book of 1810, "Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen", and expanded in the supplement to that publication, "Supplementum Primum Prodromi Florae Novae Hollandiae", in 1830. It was the first survey of "Banksia" species to be published, and included descriptions of a number of previously undescribed species.

Banksia dallanneyi subsp. media Banksia dallanneyi" subsp. "media is a subspecies of "Banksia dallanneyi". It was known as Dryandra lindleyana" subsp. "media until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all "Dryandra" into "Banksia". Since there was already a "Banksia" named "Banksia lindleyana", Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet for "D. lindleyana" and hence for this subspecies of it. As with other members of "Banksia" ser. "Dryandra", it is endemic to the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia.

Phyllanthus Phyllanthus is the largest genus in the flowering plant family Phyllanthaceae. Estimates of the number species in this genus vary widely, from 750 to 1200. "Phyllanthus" has a remarkable diversity of growth forms including annual and perennial herbs, shrubs, climbers, floating aquatics, and pachycaulous succulents. Some have flattened leaflike stems called cladodes. It has a wide variety of floral morphologies and chromosome numbers and has one of the widest range of pollen types of any seed plant genus.

Banksiamyces Banksiamyces is a genus of fungi in the order Helotiales, with a tentative placement in the family Helotiaceae. The genus contains four species, which grow on the seed follicles of the dead infructescences or "cones" of various species of "Banksia", a genus in the plant family Proteaceae endemic to Australia. Fruit bodies of the fungus appear as small (typically less than 10 mm diameter), shallow dark cups on the follicles of the "Banksia" fruit. The edges of dry fruit bodies fold inwards, appearing like narrow slits. The first specimens of "Banksiamyces", known then as "Tympanis toomansis", were described in 1887. Specimens continued to be collected occasionally for almost 100 years before becoming examined more critically in the early 1980s, leading to the creation of a new genus to contain what was determined to be three distinct species, "B. katerinae", "B. macrocarpus", and "B. toomansis". A fourth species, "B. maccannii", was added in 1984.

Banksia scabrella Banksia scabrella, commonly known as the Burma Road banksia, is a species of woody shrub in the genus "Banksia". It is classified in the series "Abietinae", a group of several species of shrubs with small round or oval inflorescences. It occurs in a number of isolated populations south of Geraldton, Western Australia, with the largest population being south and east of Mount Adams. Found on sandy soils in heathland or shrubland, it grows to 2 m high and 3 m across with fine needle-like leaves. Appearing in spring and summer, the inflorescences are round to oval in shape and tan to cream with purple styles. "Banksia scabrella" is killed by fire and regenerates by seed.

Species diversity is greatest in South America, Africa and Asia; Europe and North America have native species as well. The best-known "Berberis" species is the European barberry, "Berberis vulgaris", which is common in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia. Many of the species have spines on the shoots and along the margins of the leaves.

Banksia lindleyana Banksia lindleyana, commonly known as the porcupine banksia, is a species of woody shrub in the genus "Banksia" of the family Proteaceae. It generally grows as a small shrub to 1 m (3 ft) high with long narrow serrated leaves, and bright yellow oval or round inflorescences. Flowering occurs in late summer, after which time the flower spikes age and turn to brown and then grey, and develop up to 70 follicles. It occurs in the vicinity of Kalbarri, Western Australia. Found on sandy soils, the plant serves as a pollinator for a variety of bird and animal species.

Boraginoideae Boraginoideae is a subfamily of the flowering plant family Boraginaceae, as that family is defined in the APG III system of classification for flowering plants. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has not actually specified subfamilies within Boraginaceae. Some taxonomists place the genera "Codon" and "Wellstedia" in Boraginoideae. Others place one or both of these in separate, monogeneric subfamilies. "Codon" was long regarded as an odd member of Hydrophylloideae, but in 1998, a molecular phylogenetic study showed that it is closer to Boraginoideae.

Lauraceae Lauraceae are the laurel family, that includes the true laurel and its closest relatives. This family of flowering plants comprises about 2850 known species in about 45 genera worldwide (Christenhusz & Byng 2016 ). They are dicotyledons, and occur mainly in warm temperate and tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia and South America. Many are aromatic evergreen trees or shrubs, but some, such as "Sassafras", are deciduous, or include both deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs, especially in tropical and temperate climates. "Cassytha" is a genus unique to the Lauraceae family in that it is a genus of parasitic vines.
