context_page_description: Banksia sessilis var. sessilis is the most populous and most widespread variety of Banksia sessilis.
context_section_description: As the autonymous variety, B. sessilis var. sessilis encompasses the type material of the species; thus collections of this variety date back to the 1791 visit of Archibald Menzies to King George Sound. However the autonym was not needed until 1996, when Alex George published the other three varieties. As this taxon was then placed within the genus Dryandra, this varieties name was then Dryandra sessilis var. sessilis. It was transferred to its current name in 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred Dryandra into Banksia.
