Which genus between Borago and Banksia has the greatest number of species within the genus?
Banksia Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. Banksias range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall. They are found in a wide variety of landscapes; sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts.
Banksia dallanneyi subsp. media Banksia dallanneyi" subsp. "media is a subspecies of "Banksia dallanneyi". It was known as Dryandra lindleyana" subsp. "media until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all "Dryandra" into "Banksia". Since there was already a "Banksia" named "Banksia lindleyana", Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet for "D. lindleyana" and hence for this subspecies of it. As with other members of "Banksia" ser. "Dryandra", it is endemic to the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia.
