Taxonomy and naming

Yilgarn dryandra was first formally described in 1964 by Charles Gardner who gave it the name Dryandra arborea in the Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia from specimens he collected on hills near Koolyanobbing.[3][4] In 2007, Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele changed the name to Banksia arborea.[5] The specific epithet (arborea) is a Latin word meaning "tree-like".[6]

Distribution and habitat

Banksia arborea grows between ironstone rocks in open shrubland on hills north of Southern Cross.[1][4]

Conservation status

This banksia is classified as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[1] meaning that is rare or near threatened.[7]

Ecology

An assessment of the potential impact of climate change on this species found that its range is likely to contract by between 50% and 80% by 2080, depending on the severity of the change.[8]
