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

[3] It has linear, pinnatipartite leaves with triangular lobes, heads of cream-coloured and orange or red flowers and glabrous, egg-shaped follicles.

Banksia nivea is a rounded, much-branched shrub that typically grows to 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) high and wide but does not form a lignotuber.

[2][4][5] Banksia nivea was first collected by Jacques Labillardière in the vicinity of Esperance Bay between 15 and 17 December 1792, during a search for the naturalist Claude Riche, who had become lost on the Australian mainland.

[5][17] Subspecies uliginosa has a narrow distribution from east of Busselton and on the Scott River plain where it grows in thick scrub.
