banksia

There are banksia bushes with their sawtooth-edge leaves and dried seed cones like multiple jabbering mouths.

This curious insect is said to be found on the Banksia, and would probably, with Linnaeus, have been a Bruchus.

One species was found growing on the stump of a Banksia in Western Australia.

The Duchess mounted the double staircase where the banksia already hung in a golden curtain over the marble balustrade.

In Australia the soft velvety core of the "bottle brush," Banksia marginata, is often used instead of the cotton wick.

Occasionally, follicles dehisce by the dorsal suture, as in Magnolia grandiflora and Banksia.
