sentences:  This banksia was first formally described in 1996 by Alex George in the journal "Nuytsia" from specimens he collected near Harrismith, and given the name "Dryandra fasciculata".In 2007, Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred all the dryandras to the genus "Banksia" and this species became "Banksia fasciculata".The specific epithet ("fasciculata") is a Latin word meaning "clustered" or "in bundles" referring to the crowded leaves and flowering heads.
