Banksia dallanneyi, commonly known as couch honeypot, [2] is a species of prostrate shrub that is endemic to Western Australia. It only has a short above-ground stem, pinnatipartite or pinnatisect leaves, between thirty and seventy variously coloured flowers and glabrous, egg-shaped fruit.

Description

Banksia dallanneyi is a shrub that sometimes grows to a height of 0.3 m (1 ft 0 in) and has a fire-tolerant, underground stem and only a short above-ground stem. It has pinnatipartite or pinnatisect leaves that are 60–200 mm (2.4–7.9 in) long and 2–20 mm (0.079–0.787 in) wide on a petiole 10–120 mm (0.39–4.72 in) long. There are between ten and eighty triangular to oblong lobes on each side of the leaves and the lower surface is covered with woolly white hairs. The flowers are arranged in heads of between thirty and seventy with linear to lance-shaped involucral bracts 15–25 mm (0.59–0.98 in) long at the base of the head. The flowers have a cream-coloured, golden yellow or pinkish perianth 20–35 mm (0.79–1.38 in) long and a cream-coloured, pink or maroon pistil 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) long. Flowering occurs from May to October and the fruit is an egg-shaped, mostly glabrous follicle 7–13 mm (0.28–0.51 in) long. [2] [3] [4]

Taxonomy and naming

Couch honeypot was first formally described in 1845 by Carl Meissner as Dryandra lindleyana, published in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae . [5] [6]

In 1996, Alex George described five subspecies, one subspecies with two varieties: [4]

In 2007, Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred all Dryandra species to Banksia . As there was already a species named Banksia lindleyana (porcupine banksia), Mast and Thiele changed the specific epithet to "dallanneyi", an anagram of "lindleyana". [7] [8] [9]

The changed names of the subspecies and varieties are as follows and are accepted at the Australian Plant Census:

Distribution and habitat

Banksia dallanneyi grows on flats and rises in a range of soil types between Geraldton and Albany. [2] [3]

Ecology

An assessment of the potential impact of climate change on this species found that its range is likely to contract by between 30% and 80% by 2080, depending on the severity of the change. [17]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">George's taxonomic arrangement of Dryandra</span> 1996 arrangement of the Australian endemic plant series Dryandra in the genus Banksia

Alex George's taxonomic arrangement of Dryandra was the first modern-day arrangement of that taxon. First published in Nuytsia in 1996, it superseded the arrangement of George Bentham, which had stood for over a hundred years; it would later form the basis for George's 1999 treatment of Dryandra for the Flora of Australia. In accordance with contemporary thinking, George treated Dryandra as a genus, dividing it into three subgenera, the largest of which was divided into 24 series. The arrangement stood until 2007, when Dryandra was transferred into Banksia as B. ser. Dryandra. No alternative has yet been proposed.

Dryandra ser. Niveae is an obsolete series within the former genus Dryandra. It was first published by George Bentham in 1870, and was given a new circumscription by Alex George in 1996, but was ultimately discarded in 2007 when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk Dryandra into Banksia.

Banksia dallanneyi subsp. agricola is a subspecies of Banksia dallanneyi. It was known as Dryandra lindleyana subsp. agricola 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.

Banksia dallanneyi subsp. sylvestris is a subspecies of Banksia dallanneyi. It was known as Dryandra lindleyana subsp. sylvestris 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.

Banksia dallanneyi subsp. dallanneyi is a subspecies of Banksia dallanneyi. It was known as Dryandra lindleyana subsp. lindleyana until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all Dryandra into Banksia. Since the name Banksia lindleyana had already been used, 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. As an autonym, it is defined as encompassing the type material of the species.
