Print Description
The Scarlet Banksia (Banksia coccinea) is one of the most visually striking members of the Banksia family, native to the south coast of Western Australia. Its brilliant scarlet and silver flower spikes emerge like natural sculptures against the coastal heathlands.
Native Habitat
Banksia coccinea is endemic to southwest Western Australia, growing in sandy soils along the coast between Albany and Esperance. It favours well-drained heathland and low woodland, often alongside other proteaceae species.
Cultural Heritage
Noongar peoples of southwest Australia used its nectar as a sweet food source and its flowers in seasonal ceremonies. The species was first formally described by Robert Brown in 1810 from specimens collected during Matthew Flinders' circumnavigation.

The Story Behind the Print
Every print in our collection begins with a historical botanical illustration, many over 150 years old, sourced from institutional archives and scientific expeditions that first documented Australia's extraordinary native flora.
These illustrations were originally created by botanical artists who spent weeks in the field, working directly from living specimens. The level of detail in each plate reflects a scientific tradition where accuracy was paramount and beauty was a natural consequence of careful observation.
We reproduce each illustration using FSC-certified archival paper and calibrated colour processes that preserve the subtlety of the original work. The result is a print that honours the craft of the original artist while meeting contemporary standards for sustainable production.
