Banksia dallanneyi, commonly known as Couch Honeypot, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. It grows up to 3 metres in height.
It was known as Dryandra lindleyana until 2007, when all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named Banksia lindleyana (Porcupine Banksia), Mast and Thiele were forced to chose a new specific epithet; their choice, "dallanneyi", is an anagram of "lindleyana".
