Fruit

Banksia pulchella, commonly known as teasel banksia,[1] is a species of small shrub that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has smooth grey bark, linear leaves and golden-brown flowers in short, cylindrical heads and inconspicuous follicles.

Description

Banksia pulchella is a shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has smooth grey bark but does not form a lignotuber. The leaves are narrow linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The leaves have a sharp point on the tip. The flowers are golden-brown with bright yellow styles and are arranged in short cylindrical heads Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide at flowering. There are small involucral bracts at the base of the head but that fall off as the flowers develop. The perianth is Шаблон:Cvt long and the pistil Шаблон:Cvt long and hooked. Flowering occurs in January, March or May to October. The follicles are Шаблон:Cvt long, up to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide and inconspicuous, although the old flowers fall from the head.[1][2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Banksia pulchella was first formally described by Robert Brown who published the description in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.[5][6] Brown's specimens were collected at locations along the south coast of Western Australia, but in 1981, Alex George chose the specimens that Brown collected at Lucky Bay as the lectotype. The specific epithet (pulchella) is from the Latin pulchellus meaning "pretty", probably referring to the flowers.[3]

George placed B. oreophila in subgenus Banksia, section Oncostylis, series Abietinae.[7]Шаблон:RpШаблон:Rp

This banksia is classed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[1]

Use in horticulture

Seeds do not require any treatment, and take 17 to 48 days to germinate.[8]
