Historic plant

Coast Banksia, Banksia integrifolia, grows on the east coast of Australia, roughly from Brisbane to Melbourne. It was collected at Botany Bay NSW in 1770 by British naturalist Joseph Banks, and his Swedish associate Daniel Solander, on the voyage of the Endeavour, captained by James Cook. After Banks returned to the UK, samples of this and other plants were sent to Sweden where in 1782 the botanist Carl Linneaus (the Younger), named the genus after Banks.

I've revised the last sentence above. I originally said that B. integrifolia was scientifically named by Carl Linnaeus, the 'father of modern botany'. It was actually named by his son, who confusingly had exactly the same name. And succeeded his father in the same professorship at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. 

Linnaeus senior was more than 'the father of modern botany' He was equally influential in zoology. His unique contribution to science was development of the system of binomial nomenclature, which from his time to the present is used to formally name living organisms.
