Description
Banksia dallanneyi is a prostrate shrub growing to about 50 cm in height and often spreads with underground branches. It has long narrow leaves up to 20cm in length. The leaves are deeply serrated in triangular lobes almost to the mid rib. The cup-shaped flower clusters are orange brown and about 5 cm in diameter. It used to be known as Dryandra lindleyana before the Dryandras wee grouped with the Banksias in2007.
