Banksia
Named after Sir Joseph Banks, who discovered this genus at Botany Bay in 1770, Banksia consists of about 75 species of shrubs and small trees native to Australia, with most found in the southwest. Habit and foliage vary, but all have striking, dense, fuzzy spikes or heads of tightly packed small flowers, followed by woody fruits that protrude from among the dead flowers. The leaves are generally long and narrow, often with toothed edges. The flowers are rich in nectar and attract birds.
