Banksia arctotidis

Banksia arctotidis is a species of prostrate shrub that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

Flowering occurs between September and October and the fruit is a partly hairy, egg-shaped follicle 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in) long.

[2][3] This banksia was first formally described in 1830 by Robert Brown who gave it the name Dryandra arctotidis and published the description in Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae.

[7] Banksia arctotidis grows on sandy soil in kwongan south from Kojonup and Ongerup through the Stirling Range National Park to near Albany.

[8] This banksia is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
