Description

This is an image of Plate 3236 from Volume LX of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, entitled Dryandra armata. Sharp-pointed Dryandra. The plant depicted is now known as Banksia armata (Prickly Dryandra).

Although not indicated in the text, the variety may be easily shown to be B. armata var. armata, rather than the recently described B. armata var. ignicida, on the following grounds:

  1. Var. armata has bright yellow inflorescences, as figured. The inflorescences of var. ignicida often have a pink tinge.
  2. Var. armata was one of the first published Banksia taxa, and one of the earliest to be cultivated in Europe. No early collections of var. ignicida are known.
  3. The figured plant is known to have been grown from seed sent by Charles Fraser. Fraser collected only in the vicinity of the Swan River, where only var. armata occurs. He did later take possession of some of William Baxter's collection, which conceivably could have included specimens of var. ignicida, but this happened too late for any seed to yield a flowering plant by 1833.
