Banksia ornata, also known as desert banksia, is a shrub native to south-eastern continental Australia. It has thin bark, narrow egg-shaped leaves, and cream-colored flowers arranged in a cylindrical spike. The plant produces up to fifty follicles in each spike, surrounded by the remains of the flowers. It was first described in 1854 and its name comes from the Latin word for "decorated", referring to its beautiful flowers and leaves. Desert banksia is commonly found in western Victoria and South Australia, particularly in mallee and heathland environments. Nectarivorous birds are attracted to this plant, making it an important part of the ecosystem.
