sentences:  This species was first formally described in 1856 by Carl Meissner who gave it the name "Dryandra tridentata" and published the description in "Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany".In 1893 Benjamin Daydon Jackson accidentally listed it in "Index Kewensis" under "Banksia", thus unwittingly publishing the name "Banksia tridentata".This is now the current name for the species, as in 2007 all "Dryandra" species were transferred to "Banksia" by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele.
