The Red Swamp Banksia or Waterbush (Banksia occidentalis) is a species of shrub or small tree in the plant genus Banksia. It occurs on the south coast of Western Australia in three disjunct populations: at Augusta, around Albany and in the Esperance area.
A 1980 field study at Cheyne beach showed it to be pollinated by the New Holland Honeyeater and White-cheeked Honeyeater.[1]
Seeds do not require any treatment, and take 21 to 47 days to germinate.[2]
The species was observed to be in cultivation in England in the gardens of Chiswick House in 1834.[3]
