"Banksia splendida" subsp. "macrocarpa" is a subspecies of "Banksia splendida". It was known as "Dryandra speciosa" subsp. "macrocarpa" until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk all "Dryandra" into "Banksia". Since there was already a species named "Banksia speciosa", Mast and Thiele had to chose a new specific epithet for "D. speciosa" and hence for this subspecies of it.cite journal | author = Mast, Austin R. and Kevin Thiele | year = 2007 | title = The transfer of Dryandra R.Br. to Banksia L.f.
