The Swamp Banksia ("Banksia paludosa") is a species of shrub in the plant genus "Banksia". It occurs in New South Wales between Batemans Bay and Sydney, with an isolate population around Eden.

Taxonomy

It was first described by Robert Brown in his 1810 "On the Proteaceae of Jussieu", and named "Banksia paludosa". In 1870, George Bentham demoted it to a variety of "B. integrifolia" (Coast Banksia), but in 1981 Alex George restored it to species rank.
