Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family
Proteaceae. Iconic Australian wildflower and popular garden plants,
they are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and
fruiting "cones" and can vary from prostrate woody shrubs to
trees up to 30 metres tall. They are generally found in a wide variety
of landscapes; sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest,
shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's
deserts
