Banksia rufa subsp. tutanningensis is a subspecies of Banksia rufa . It was known as Dryandra ferruginea subsp. tutanningensis 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.
