Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Banksia (Sir Joseph Banks, 1743-1820, famous English scientist). Proteaceae. Australian evergreen shrubs or trees with handsome foliage, but not widely known in cultivation here. Leaves variable, often deeply incised, usually dark green above, white or brown downy beneath: fls. showy, sessile, usually in pairs, spicate; spike terminal or axillary, mostly crowded within the bracts and floral lvs., the pistillate ones ultimately forming thick woody strobiles.—Species 46, more than 23 of which have been more or less cult. in England, but only 2 or 3 so far known here. Propagation is difficult, and by seeds is usually an unsatisfactory method, although B. serrata has been grown satisfactorily from seeds. Cuttings under a bell- jar, without too much heat, root fairly well. The following have been recently catalogued in North America; none of them has "gained a permanent foothold" in California. Several species are known in American botanic gardens. B. latifolia. R. Br. Stout shrub: Lvs. irregularly almost spiny serrate, 4-8 in. long, 1½-3 in. wide: spikes 3-5 in. long; perianth slender, scarcely 1 in. long, greenish. B.M. 2406.—B. prionotes, Lindl. Tree. 15-25 ft.: Lvs. 8-11 in. long, ½-1 in. wide, pinnatifid.: spikes 3-5 in. lone: perianth scarcely an inch long, villous; style rigid, incurved at the base.
