Candlestick banksia
Banksia attenuata
Prolific throughout the Park's Banksia Woodlands, the candlestick banksia got its name from the tall, skinny yellow flowers it produces during winter and spring.
When not in flower, you can identify this species from it's similarly long, thin serrated-edged leaves, which differ greatly from the other species found in the Park.
