Banksia nivea (Dryandra nivea)

This plant was first named as Banksia nivea, then transferred to the genus Dryandra. Now all of the species in Dryandra have been put back into Banksia, so it has regained its original name. It belongs to the Protea Family (Proteaceae), and has a wide distribution in the southwest corner of Australia, where it is referred to by the common name of “Honeypot Dryandra”. Its long serrated leaves make a delightful texture in the garden.
