Summary
Banksia ionthocarpa subsp. chrysophoenix is a shrub to 40 cm high with underground stems. Leaves are rigid, with straight leaf lobe margins. Floral bracts are approximately 4 mm long, elongating to 6 to 7 mm in fruit. The purple-red perianth is 52 to 60 mm long including the 6 to 11.5 mm long, flattened golden-orange limb. The pistil is 63 to 65 mm long and the pollen presenter 3 to 5.5 mm long. Follicles (not seen when mature) are obovate, 9 to 11 mm long, covered in a felt-like covering of cottony hairs on the stylar edge, as well as having the prominent apical tuft characteristic of the species (Pieroni 2000, George 2005, Cavanagh and Pieroni 2006).
Banksia ionthocarpa subsp. chrysophoenix differs from D. ionthocarpa subsp. ionthocarpa in having straighter leaf lobes and fire-tolerant underground stems that are capable of re-sprouting (George 2005, Cavanagh and Pieroni 2006).
