Banksia pteridifolia, commonly known as tangled honeypot,[2] is a species of shrub that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

Banksia pteridifolia is a shrub that typically grows to about 1 m (3 ft 3 in) in diameter, with short underground stems and a lignotuber.

There are broadly egg-shaped, involucral bracts up to 20 mm (0.79 in) long and covered with rust-coloured, woolly hairs at the base of each head.

[2][3][4] Scottish botanist Robert Brown described the tangled honeypot as Dryandra pteridifolia in 1810, after collecting it in January 1802 from Lucky Bay on Western Australia's south coast.

Subspecies pteridifolia is found between the Gairdner River, Cape Le Grand National Park and Newdegate and subsp.

[4][8] Subspecies pteridifolia is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[2] but subsp.
