Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia is a subspecies of Banksia integrifolia.

Description

Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia can be distinguished from the other subspecies of B. integrifolia by its slightly smaller, broader leaves, which are also somewhat duller than those of B. integrifolia subsp. compar.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy

The type material for B. integrifolia subsp. integrifolia was first collected at

Carolus Linnaeus the Younger in April 1782, it was maintained at species rank until 1913, when Frederick Bailey published B. integrifolia var. compar. This created the autonym Banksia integrifolia L.f. var. integrifolia.[6] In 1994, Kevin Thiele promoted B. integrifolia var. compar to subspecies rank, publishing another subspecies at the same time. This had the effect of promoting the autonym to subspecies rank also, thus creating B. integrifolia L.f. subsp. integrifolia.[7][8]

Distribution and habitat

Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia is generally found on infertile, sandy soils within 50 kilometres (30 mi) of the coast.

Geelong, Victoria.[9] There are records of collections on islands in Bass Strait, but it appears to be extinct there now.[3]
