Source-derived summary

Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia is a subspecies of Banksia integrifolia.

Description

Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia can be distinguished from the other subspecies of B. integrifolia by its slightly smaller, broader leaves, which are also somewhat duller than those of B. integrifolia subsp. compar.

Taxonomy

The type material for B. integrifolia subsp. integrifolia was first collected at Botany Bay on 29 April 1770 by Sir Joseph Banks and Dr Daniel Solander, naturalists on the Endeavour during Lieutenant (later Captain) James Cook's first voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Published as "Banksia integrifolia L.f." by Carolus Linnaeus the Younger in April 1782, it was maintained at species rank until 1913, when Frederick Bailey published B. integrifolia var. compar. This created the autonym Banksia integrifolia L.f.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia” as subspecies of plant. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Banksia, integrifolia and subsp.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1770, 1782, 1913—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Banksia, integrifolia and subsp providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia”, the useful work is to connect “subspecies of plant” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2882707. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1770, 1782 and 1913.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
