Banksia nutans, also known as nodding banksia, is a shrub native to the south coast of Western Australia. It has pale blue-green foliage and unique purple-brown inflorescences that hang upside down. It was first described by botanist Robert Brown in the early 19th century and is not commonly seen in cultivation. It is sensitive to dieback and does not thrive in climates with high humidity. The species is part of the Banksia genus and is placed in the subgenus Banksia verae. It grows up to one meter tall and has a bark that peels in thin flakes. Its flowers are pinkish-purple and have a distinct onion-like smell. B. nutans is an important food source for the nectar-feeding honey possum and is also an important plant for regeneration after fire. However, its range is expected to contract due to the impact of climate change.
