Banksia rufa
Banksia rufa is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. It was first published by Carl Meissner in 1855, where it was given the name Dryandra ferruginea by Richard Kippist. The following year, Meisner published what was purportedly a distinct species, "Dryandra runcinata". In 1870, George Bentham maintained "D. runcinata", but demoted "D. ferruginea" to a variety of "Banksia proteoides" (King Dryandra). This stood until 1996, when Alex George restored the specific rank of "D. ferruginea", and declared "D. runcinata" its synonym.
