| Banksia undata A.R.Mast and K.R.Thiele |
Banksia undata, commonly known as Urchin Dryandra, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
It was known as Dryandra praemorsa until 2007, when all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named Banksia praemorsa (Cut-leaf Banksia), Mast and Thiele were forced to chose a new specific epithet; their choice, "undata", is from the Latin undatus ("undulate"), in reference to the wavy leaves.
