Banksia falcata, also known as prickly dryandra, is a shrub that is native to Western Australia. It has serrated or pinnatipartite leaves, yellow flowers, and soft-hairy fruit. The shrub can grow up to 2.3 meters tall and does not form a lignotuber. Its leaves are wedge-shaped and have sharp teeth on each side. The flowers are found in heads of up to 150 and have yellow perianths and pistils. This species was first described in 1810 and was later transferred to the genus Banksia in 2007. Its name, falcata, comes from the Latin word for "shaped like a scythe or sickle". Banksia falcata can be found in kwongan habitats in various biogeographic regions in Western Australia.
