The Banksia oblongifolia is a special kind of shrub that grows in Australia. People often call it the fern-leaved banksia, dwarf banksia, or rusty banksia because of how it looks.
This plant is found along the central east coast of Australia. You can spot it all the way from Wollongong, New South Wales in the south up to Rockhampton, Queensland in the north. It also grows in places like the Glass House Mountains.
