Banksia integrifolia subsp. monticola
Banksia integrifolia subsp. monticola, commonly known as white mountain banksia, is a subspecies of Banksia integrifolia. Described in 1994, it occurs in the Blue Mountains and in northern New South Wales. It contains the largest recorded Banksia trees.
It is valued because of its frost hardiness. It has been planted in England.
Unlike the other B. integrifolia subspecies, B. integrifolia subsp. monticola occurs well inland, in the Blue Mountains between Mount Wilson and the New England National Park. It grows in fertile soils derived from igneous rock at altitudes above 650 metres (2,130 ft), whereas the other subspecies occur only at altitudes below 500 metres, and are generally associated with infertile soils derived from sedimentary rock.
