About

Banksia catoglypta is a species of shrub that is endemic to Western Australia. It has pinnatisect leaves with sharply-pointed, triangular lobes and heads of golden brown and cream-coloured flowers.

Where it grows

Banksia catoglypta is obligately outcrossed and primarily pollinated by the white-cheeked honeyeater, and feral European honeybees. However, small mammals also contribute to pollination of this species with the honey possum and feral house mouse commonly visiting the flowers.
