[1] In the shrub form, several stems arise from the woody base known as the lignotuber. Banksia menziesii Common name: Firewood Banksia . The first Banksia collected in Western Australia, Banksia menziesii, in 1791, was by Archibald Menzies, the surgeon/naturalist on Captain George Vancouver’s voyage to King George Sound in 1791. Kuntze proposed Sirmuellera as an alternative, republishing B. menziesii as "Sirmuellera menziesii". [28] However, it is uncommon south of Mandurah. [6], Twenty-one species from several orders of slime molds (myxomycetes) have been isolated from the bark of Banksia menziesii. 22.Tem.2020 - Banksia Menziesii | 1000 - Modern Banksia Menziesii | 1000 This article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page as Today's featured article on October 9, 2015.

Banksia menziesii, commonly known as firewood banksia, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Banksia. Aboriginal use: An infusion of the flowers was used to relieve coughs and colds and as a refreshing drink. To investigate this further, four Australian native species (Banksia attenuata, B. menziesii, Acacia truncata and A. xanthina) were grown in a greenhouse in nutrient solutions at a range of P concentrations [P].Acacia plants received between 0 and 500 µ m P; Banksia plants received between 0 and 10 µ m P, to avoid major P-toxicity symptoms in these highly P-sensitive species. [28] It is generally only weakly serotinous in the southern part of its range, that is, it lacks a canopy seed bank as follicles on old flower spikes in the canopy release their seed after two years, but populations retain more seed as populations move north. [3] They are composed of numerous individual flowers; one field study south of Perth recorded an average of 1043 per flower spike,[6] while another on plants in cultivation in South Australia recorded an average of 720. Follicles hairy, pubescent (with soft, straight, erect hairs), obovate, 25-35 mm long. (In those days the ship’s doctor often multitasked as the botanist and naturalist as well as doing the amputations). Distribution: Southwest of Western Australia from Kalbarri to Cape Leeuwin. ... Banksia attenuata (n=lO), Banksia menziesii (n=5), Banksia ilicifolia (n= 1 0) and Banksia littoralis (n=5) at the low site. Menziesii is named after Archibald Menzies, surgeon-naturalist on the Discovery expedition (1791 – 1795) under the navigator George Vancouver.

Optimum temperatures for germination of Callistemon glauca seeds 0 to 5–7 yr old were 25 and 20°C, and germination percentages were higher in light than in darkness (Kim et al., 2009). The inflorescences are generally a deeper red after colder weather and further into the winter. In 1891, German botanist Otto Kuntze challenged the generic name Banksia L.f., on the grounds that the name Banksia had previously been published in 1775 as Banksia J.R.Forst & G.Forst, referring to the genus now known as Pimelea.

It is found in Western Australia, from the Perth (32° S) region north to the Murchison River (27° S), and generally grows on sandy soils, in scrubland or low woodland. [12], The common name of firewood banksia was a result of its quick-burning properties. Prefers organic mulch, is very sensitive to phosphates, but responds well to light application of slow-release, low-phosphate fertilisers specifically designed for Australian native plants.

Banksia verae was renamed Eubanksia by Stephan Endlicher in 1847,[18] and demoted to sectional rank by Carl Meissner in his 1856 classification. Banksia menziesii, commonly known as firewood banksia, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Banksia. Also known as the port wine banksia or the strawberry banksia, the firewood banksia is a flowering plant species in the genus, Banksia. Myxomycetes on the bark of dead Banksia attenuata and B. menziesii from the Perth metropolitan area of Western Australia were surveyed by the moist chamber technique, to determine whether the flora was similar on both hosts and what were the most important variables that determined the distribution of the most common species. [16] Banksia menziesii was the subject of a book by botanical artist Philippa Nikulinsky, which showed the progress of an inflorescence from bud through flowering to fruiting and seed release over 22 watercolour plates. The two species are less strictly tied to the water table and hence able to grow in a wider variety of places within banksia woodland habitat around Perth than the co-occurring Banksia ilicifolia and Banksia littoralis. [4] Oblong in shape and somewhat truncate at the tips, the leaves are grey-green in colour, 8–25 cm (3.1–9.8 in) long and up to 4 cm (1.6 in) wide. The only reported hybrid is a sterile hybrid with B. hookeriana (Hooker's banksia), found north of Badgingarra by Greg Keighery. There are no species which are common to eastern and western Australia except Tropical Banksia, Banksia dentata , which occurs across northern Australia, in Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya and the Aru Islands. [3], Flowering occurs in autumn and winter, peaking from May to July. [27], As B. menziesii is not similar to any other Banksia, hybrids are unlikely to occur. Author ID.

It is found in Western Australia, from the Perth(32° S) region north to the Murchison River(27° S), and generally grows on sandy soils, in scrublandor low woodland. Banksia menziesii is widely used in the cut flower industry both in Australia and overseas. [11] It generally takes about five to seven years to flower from seed. [31], Together with B. attenuata (candlestick banksia), B. menziesii is a dominant component in a number of widespread vegetation complexes of the Swan Coastal Plain, including Banksia low woodland and Jarrah-Banksia woodland. Stunning pink/red flowers appear from autumn to winter. menziesii. Wide outcrossing provides functional connectivity for new and old Banksia populations within a fragmented landscape A. Ritchie , R.

Krauss Oecologia It is actually either a gnarled up tree that stands 10 metres tall, or a shrub that spreads about 1 to 3 metres in the northern parts of its distribution range. [28], Like many members of the family Proteaceae, Banksia menziesii is largely self-incompatible; that is, inflorescences require pollinators to be fertilised and produce seed. The response of a range of Banksia species to inoculation with P. cinnamomi and P. citricola was assessed. Distribution found on west coast of Western Australia from around Perth to around Kalbarri. Uses: Tall erect Banksia with acorn shaded spikes of Pink and Orange flowers in autumn and winter. Search Author Database.
