Banksia laevigata is a species of shrub in the plant genus Banksia. It occurs in Western Australia's semi-arid shrubland from Southern Cross south to the Fitzgerald River National Park. It is composed of two closely related subspecies, B. laevigata subsp. laevigata (Tennis Ball Banksia) and B. laevigata subsp. fuscolutea (Golden Ball Banksia). Seeds do not require any treatment, and take 39 to 92 days to germinate.[1]
