What an awesome sight to find these Banksia plants. They were in full flowering bloom, growing to 3metres tall and like a forest to walk through.Banksia stuposa is so named from the Latin stupposus which means covered with course, matted hairs and referred to the silky-wooly hairs on the bracts. It was first collected by James Drummond from the "Swan River" in the 1830s and has no collection number. It was first described by John Lindley in 1840.

What an awesome sight to find these Banksia plants! There were lots of golden flowers and buds on plants mostly growing to around 2 metres tall. We enjoyed walking through a dense forest of them. A few very old plants had grown much larger. We checked one that reached to about 3+ meters tall by 3+ meters wide.Banksia stuposa is so named from the Latin stupposus which means covered with course, matted hairs and referred to the silky-wooly hairs on the bracts.
