This plant grows almost exclusively in Australia, and the 60 species recorded in southern Western Australia represent its greatest diversity. The flower heads are made up of hundreds (sometimes thousands) of tiny individual flowers grouped together in pairs. The colour of the flower heads usually ranges from yellow to red. Many species flower over autumn and winter. The fruits of banksias (called follicles) are hard and woody and are often grouped together to resemble cones (which they are not, as  true cones are only produced by conifers). The fruits protect the seeds from foraging animals and fire. In many species the fruits will not open until they have been burnt or completely dried out.
