Banksia paludosa, commonly known as swamp banksia, is a species of shrub in the genus Banksia. It was first described by the eminent British botanist William Jackson Hooker in the early 19th century. This species is native to Australia, specifically found in the coastal regions of New South Wales and Victoria. Banksia paludosa thrives in swampy, heathland, and woodland environments, often in sandy or peaty soils that are seasonally waterlogged.

The plant typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 meters, although it can occasionally reach up to 3 meters. It is characterized by its dense, bushy habit and its distinctive flower spikes, which are cylindrical and can grow up to 20 centimeters long. The flowers are a striking yellow to orange color, and they bloom from late autumn to early winter, providing a crucial source of nectar for various pollinators, including birds, insects, and small mammals.

The leaves of Banksia paludosa are narrow, serrated, and dark green on the upper surface, with a paler underside. They are arranged alternately along the stems and can grow up to 10 centimeters in length. The plant's woody fruiting cones, known as follicles, contain seeds that are released in response to fire, a common adaptation among Australian flora to ensure regeneration after bushfires.

Banksia paludosa plays a significant ecological role in its native habitat. It contributes to the biodiversity of the regions it inhabits and supports a variety of wildlife. Additionally, it has horticultural value and is sometimes cultivated for use in gardens and landscaping, particularly in areas that mimic its natural swampy conditions.

The species was named and classified by William Jackson Hooker, who was a prominent figure in the field of botany during his time. His work in documenting and describing various plant species has been instrumental in the advancement of botanical science. Banksia paludosa remains an important subject of study for botanists and ecologists interested in Australian native plants and their adaptations to challenging environments.
