Banksia Subser. Banksia
''Banksia'' subser. ''Banksia'' is a valid botanic name for a subseries of '' Banksia''. It was first used by Kevin Thiele in 1996, although as an autonym it is not considered to have been published ''per se''. It was discarded by Alex George in 1999. Cladistics The name came about after a cladistic analysis of ''Banksia'' by Thiele and Pauline Ladiges yielded a phylogeny somewhat at odds with the accepted taxonomic arrangement, the 1981 arrangement of George. Thiele and Ladiges' cladogram included a clade consisting of the members of ''B.'' ser. ''Banksia'' '' sensu'' George, together with the four members of George's ''B.'' ser. ''Crocinae''. This clade divided into two subclades: Taxonomy Thiele and Ladiges accepted this clade as the basis for their ''B.'' ser. ''Banksia'', dividing it into two subseries in accordance with their cladogram. '' B. ornata'' (Desert Banksia), '' B. serrata'' (Saw Banksia) and '' B. aemula'' (Wallum Banksia ...

Banksia Serrata
''Banksia serrata'', commonly known as the saw banksia, the old man banksia, the saw-tooth banksia or the red honeysuckle and as wiriyagan by the Cadigal people, is a species of woody shrub or tree of the genus ''Banksia'', in the family Proteaceae. Native to the east coast of Australia, it is found from Queensland to Victoria with outlying populations on Tasmania and Flinders Island. Commonly growing as a gnarled tree up to 16 m (50 ft) in height, it can be much smaller in more exposed areas. This ''Banksia'' species has wrinkled grey bark, shiny dark green serrated leaves and large yellow or greyish-yellow flower spikes appearing over summer. The flower spikes, or inflorescences, turn grey as they age and pollinated flowers develop into large, grey, woody seed pods called follicles. ''B. serrata'' is one of the four original ''Banksia'' species collected by Sir Joseph Banks in 1770, and one of four species published in 1782 as part of Carolus Linnaeus the Younger's ...

Banksia Ornata
''Banksia ornata'', commonly known as desert banksia, is a species of shrub that is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. The Ngarrindjeri people of the Lower Murray region in South Australia know it as yelakut. It has thin bark, serrated, narrow egg-shaped leaves with the lower end towards the base, cream-coloured flowers in a cylindrical spike, and later, up to fifty follicles in each spike, surrounded by the remains of the flowers. Description ''Banksia ornata'' is a shrub that typically grows to a height of about but does not form a lignotuber. It has thin grey bark and stems that are hairy at first, later glabrous. The leaves are narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, or wedge-shaped, long and wide on a petiole long. The flowers are cream-coloured and arranged in a broadly cylindrical spike long and wide when the flowers open. There are hairy involucral bracts at the base of the spike but they fall off before the flowers open. The peri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Banksia Ornata3 Mt Annan Entrance Apr 04 Email
''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 (100 ft) 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. Heavy producers of nectar, ''banksias'' are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. They are an important food source for nectarivorous animals, including birds, bats, rats, possums, stingless bees and a host of invertebrates. Further, they are of economic importance to Australia's nursery and cut flower industries. However, these plants are threatened by a number of processes including land clearing, frequent burning and disease, and a number of species are rare and endan ...

Thiele And Ladiges' Taxonomic Arrangement Of Banksia
Kevin Thiele and Pauline Ladiges taxonomic arrangement of ''Banksia'', published in 1996, was a novel taxonomic arrangement that was intended to align the taxonomy of ''Banksia'' more closely with the phylogeny that they had inferred from their cladistic analysis of the genus. It replaced Alex George's 1981 arrangement, but most aspects were not accepted by George, and it was soon replaced by a 1999 revision of George's arrangement. However some herbaria have continued to follow Thiele and Ladiges on some points. Background ''Banksia'' is a genus of around 80 species in the plant family Proteaceae. An iconic Australian wildflower and popular garden plant, they are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones". They grow in forms varying from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 35 metres tall, and occur in all but the most arid areas of Australia. As heavy producers of nectar (plant), nectar, they are important sources of food for nectariferous a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Banksia Prionotes
''Banksia prionotes'', commonly known as acorn banksia or orange banksia, is a species of shrub or tree of the genus ''Banksia'' in the family Proteaceae. It is native to the southwest of Western Australia and can reach up to in height. It can be much smaller in more exposed areas or in the north of its range. This species has serrated, dull green leaves and large, bright flower spikes, initially white before opening to a bright orange. Its common name arises from the partly opened inflorescence, which is shaped like an acorn. The tree is a popular garden plant and also of importance to the cut flower industry. ''Banksia prionotes'' was first described in 1840 by English botanist John Lindley, probably from material collected by James Drummond the previous year. There are no recognised varieties, although it has been known to hybridise with ''Banksia hookeriana''. Widely distributed in south-west Western Australia, ''B. prionotes'' is found from Shark Bay ( 25° S) in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Banksia Menziesii
''Banksia menziesii'', commonly known as firewood banksia, is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Banksia''. It is a gnarled tree up to tall, or a lower spreading shrub in the more northern parts of its range. The serrated leaves are dull green with new growth a paler grey green. The prominent autumn and winter inflorescences are often two-coloured red or pink and yellow, and their colour has given rise to more unusual common names such as port wine banksia and strawberry banksia. Yellow blooms are rarely seen. First described by the botanist Robert Brown in the early 19th century, no separate varieties of ''Banksia menziesii'' are recognised. It is found in Western Australia, from the Perth (32° S) region north to the Murchison River (27° S), and generally grows on sandy soils, in scrubland or low woodland. ''Banksia menziesii'' provides food for a wide array of invertebrate and vertebrate animals; birds and in particular honeyeaters are prominent visitors. A re ...

Banksia Speciosa
''Banksia speciosa'', commonly known as the showy banksia, is a species of large shrub or small tree in the family Proteaceae. It is found on the south coast of Western Australia between Hopetoun (33°57′ S) and the Great Australian Bight (approximately 33° S 130° E), growing on white or grey sand in shrubland. Reaching up to in height, it is a single-stemmed plant that has thin leaves with prominent triangular "teeth" along each margin, which are long and wide. The prominent cream-yellow flower spikes known as inflorescences appear throughout the year. As they age they develop up to 20 follicles each that store seeds until opened by fire. Though widely occurring, the species is highly sensitive to dieback and large populations of plants have succumbed to the disease. Collected and described by Robert Brown in the early 19th century, ''B. speciosa'' is classified in the series ''Banksia'' within the genus. Its closest relative is '' B. baxteri''. ''B. sp ...
