Banksia prolata subsp. archeos is a subspecies of Banksia prolata, a Western Australian shrub in the Proteaceae family, formerly known as Dryandra longifolia subsp. archeos. It is endemic to the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia and is best grown in full sun with excellent drainage, as is typical of Banksia species from that region.
Banksia prolata subsp. archeos is a subspecies of Banksia prolata. It was known as Dryandra longifolia subsp. archeos until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all Dryandra into Banksia. Since the name Banksia longifolia had already been used, Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet for D. longifolia and hence for this subspecies of it. As with other members of Banksia ser. Dryandra, it is endemic to the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia.
