Banksia tridentata, commonly known as yellow honeypot,[2] is a low-growing shrub that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

Banksia tridentata is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 15–50 cm (5.9–19.7 in) and forms a lignotuber.

Flowering occurs from August to September and the fruit is a sparsely hairy, elliptical to egg-shaped follicle 11–15 mm (0.43–0.59 in) long.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1856 by Carl Meissner who gave it the name Dryandra tridentata and published the description in Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany.

[2][3] An assessment of the potential impact of climate change on this species found that its range is unlikely to contract and may actually grow, depending on how effectively it migrates into newly habitable areas.
