In 1770, the English botanist was the first known collector of Banksia specimens, which are native to Australia. The name Banksia was chosen and made public, in April 1782, by Carl von Linne aka Carolus Linnaeus the Younger. In botanical naming circles, the Swedish naturalist is known as L.f. [for Linnaeus filius, or Linnaeus' son], to distinguish him from his famous systematist father of the same name. So the correct botanical name is Banksia L.f., or Banksia Linnaeus filius. Answer #2 by SimplemaryThe Lady Banks rose (rosa banksiae), originally from China, is named after Lady Banks, the wife of botanist Sir Joseph Banks.
