Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. All but one of the living Banksia species are endemic to Australia. Banksia coccinea (Scarlet Banksia) is an erect shrub or small tree endemic to south west Western Australia. The process of flowering takes 9–12 months. Squat and roughly cylindrical, the flowers are 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) high and 8–10 cm (3–4 in) wide. The white flower is covered in grey or pale brown fur, the style is generally scarlet and strongly recurved or looped until they are released. Paired in columns, the red styles contrast with the grey-white perianth making a striking flower spike. There is an average of around 286 individual flowers on each spike. florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/1811
