Banksia epimicta was created in 1996.

The banksia is a plant with unique adaptations to help it survive in its environment.

Firstly, the nature of its flower structure attracts many more birds, animals and insects that can help to ensure pollination to other plants. The flowers are long and cylindrical, rather than single cuplike structures.

Also, banksias are able to survive bushfires better than other plants. Some banksias have thick bark that protects them from fire, whilst others have lignotubers, which are underground swellings on their roots, from which they are able to sprout again after fire. these lignotubers are protected, being underground, and rarely damaged by bushfires.

Banksia flowers rely on fire to stimulate the release of their seeds. The seeds are protected from bushfires by a resinous coating, and the action of the fire passing triggers their release as the fire melts the resin.

The Kangaroo Paw is a native Australian shrub which is found in southwestern Western Australia. It prefers a drier climate than that found in the east. Its habitat is sandy, well-drained soil in grassland and semi-arid areas.

No they're a native TREE.

The kangaroo paw is a very unique plant, earning its name by the supposed resemblance of its cluster of unopened flowers to a kangaroo's paw. It is long and slender, like the forepaw of a kangaroo.

The kangaroo paw is native to Australia, and found naturally only in the southwest of Western Australia. The red and green kangaroo paw is the state floral emblem for Western Australia.

Yes, paw paws are edible. They taste similar to bananas, though their texture is softer.

Tasmanian myrtle, also known as Myrtle beech, is found in both Tasmanian and Victoria in Australia. It is found primarily in the cool temperate rainforests of both states, especially in central Tasmania and the west, and a small area of the northeast of the island. It prefers moist, sheltered conditions.

There are many characteristics of a cone-bearing plant. The plant is usually a very hardy plant that can survive harsh conditions and rough terrain.

Phototropism is a plant's growth response to a light source, determining which direction it grows in. Positive Phototropism is the tendency for a plant to grow towards the light; Negative Phototropism is when it grows away from the light.

This species of Australian Pine is spelt Wollemi.

Yes, the kangaroo paw is native to Australia, and found naturally only in the southwest of Western Australia. The red and green kangaroo paw is the state floral emblem for Western Australia.

There is no state in Australia in which camellias cannot be grown. According to the late "Gardening Guru", Colin Campbell, camellias can be grown in the right environment in each of the states. They are able to withstand light frost. They do require shade, particularly during the hot summers, and they need some form of protection from hot, drying winds.

One of the adaptations of the Australian wattle is its seeds. They are very hardy and can survive in the ground for decades. The seeds also germinate in their thousands.

Another 2 include the phyllodes and its fire resistance.

Gum trees as a species are not endangered. There are over 600 varieties of gum trees, or eucalyptus, in Australia. Individual species which are endangered are so due to land clearing and the fact that they might live in a geographically restricted area.
