Distribution and Habitat
Endemic to Western Australia, Banksia petiolaris is found near the state's south coast from the vicinity of Munglinup east to Israelite Bay, concentrated in two disjunct ranges – an eastern one around Cape Arid National Park, and western one east of Scaddan. It is found in white sandy soils in heathland (kwongan) or mallee-heath, but sometimes occurs with the taller Banksia speciosa.
