Banksia scabrella
"Banksia scabrella" is found in two disjunct areas of scattered populations; the first discovered being southeast of the small town of Walkaway south of Geraldton, while a more populous cluster is found southeast of Mount Adams in Western Australia. The average annual rainfall over its range is around 450 mm (18 in). It has been placed on the Declared Rare and Priority Flora List, where it is classified as a "Priority Four – Rare" taxon; although it is rare, it is not currently threatened by any identifiable factors. These taxa require monitoring every 5 to 10 years. Many stands are populous, and number over 100 plants. However, over half the known population of "B. scabrella" is found on road verges. Found in deep pale yellow or white sand in kwongan scrubland and heathland, "B. scabrella" grows on flat areas or gentle slopes and is found in association with "B. leptophylla" and a dwarf form of "B. attenuata".
