This one and a few others are unusual in that the flower heads hang down. Grows as an open shrub or a small tree to 5 m in height, with a spreading habit.The stiff leaves are narrowly wedge-shaped or more oval and measure 3 to 9 cm in length by 1.2–3.5 cm wide. The leaf margins are serrated. Unlike those of most other banksias, the cylindrical inflorescences hang down from branchlets. They are about 10 cm long and 8cm in diameter. Flowers are green-yellow in colour and smell of honey, and drip large amounts of nectar. <br /> Family: Proteaceae &nbsp; Genus: Banksia &nbsp; Species: lemanniana &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Yellow<br />Member - John and ValFri, 21 Nov 2014 04:37:00 GMT
