Banksia splendida subsp. macrocarpa is a subspecies of Banksia splendida . It was known as Dryandra speciosa subsp. macrocarpa until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all Dryandra into Banksia . Since there was already a species named Banksia speciosa , Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet for D. speciosa 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.
