Banksia Ser. Ochraceae
''Banksia'' ser. ''Ochraceae'' is a valid botanic name for a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic series (botany), series within the plant genus ''Banksia''. It was published by Kevin Thiele in 1996, but discarded by Alex George (botanist), Alex George in 1999. Cladistics The name came about after a cladistics, cladistic analysis of ''Banksia'' by Thiele and Pauline Ladiges yielded a phylogeny somewhat at odds with George's taxonomic arrangement of Banksia, the arrangement of Alex George (botanist), Alex George. They found George's Banksia ser. Cyrtostylis, ''B.'' ser. ''Cyrtostylis'' to be "widely polyphyletic", with six of its fourteen taxa occurring singly in locations throughout the cladogram; these were transferred to other series or left ''incertae sedis''. The remaining eight taxa formed a clade, which further resolved into two subclades: Taxonomy Thiele and Ladiges preferred to give series rank to the subclades, rather than the entire clade, so they transferred the taxa ...

Banksia Audax
''Banksia audax'' is a species of shrub that is Endemism, endemic to Western Australia. It has fissured, grey bark, woolly stems, hairy, serrated leaves and golden orange flower spikes. Description ''Banksia audax'' is a shrub that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has fissured, grey bark and branches densely covered with woolly hairs. The leaves are wedge-shaped, hairy on both sides, long and wide with serrated edges. The serrations are triangular, long and sharply pointed. The flower spike is erect, on a short side branch, oval-cylindrical and in diameter as the flowers open. The flowers are golden orange, each with a perianth long and hairy on the outside. Flowering occurs from November to January and there are up to forty elliptic Follicle (fruit), follicles in the spike, each long, high and wide and hairy. Taxonomy and naming ''Banksia audax'' was first formally described in 1928 by Charles Gardner (botanist), Charles Gardner from specimens ...
