Banksia – Australian Native

Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay, ACT.

Featured in Proteaceae Family

There are 76 Banksia species, and all but one occur naturally only in Australia.
Banksias were named after Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820), who, in 1770, was the first European to collect specimens of these plants.
A number of Banksia cultivars have also been developed.
