Banksia laricina sepia

Banksia laricina sepia

Banksia laricina or Rose Banksia finished in sepia

Western Australian native plant growing between Kalbarri and Moore River.

The shrub grows to around 2 metres tall. The leaves are up to 15mm long and 0.8mm wide. The seed shown here are enclosed in prominent follicles which are bright green when new and attached to a woody cone and are generally retained within the cone until burnt. The shape of the cone gives rise ot the common name ‘rose-fruited banksia’ because it is similar to rose petals – unlike those of any other banksia.

Not currently listed as threatened but is regarded as vulnerable over the long term. Photo taken in Kings Park Perth WA
