Banksia rufa subsp. pumila is a subspecies of Banksia rufa . It was known as Dryandra ferruginea subsp. pumila until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all Dryandra into Banksia . Since the name Banksia ferruginea had already been used, Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet for D. ferruginea and hence for this subspecies of it. [1] As with other members of Banksia ser. Dryandra, it is endemic to the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia.
