Banksia horrida, commonly known as prickly dryandra,[2] is a species of shrub that is endemic to Western Australia.

Banksia horrida is a species of shrub that typically grows to a height of 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and has hairy stems.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1856 by Carl Meissner who gave it the name Dryandra horrida and published the description in de Candolle's Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from specimens collected by James Drummond in the Swan River Colony.

[7][8] Banksia horrida grows in kwongan in scattered locations between Tammin, Corrigin and Narembeen in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region.

[2][3] Banksia horrida is classified as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife[2] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
