Hey, Powdies!
I'm currently working on a small museum exhibit about Joseph Banks' natural history expediton to my province, Newfoundland, in 1766. As he went on to become a major figure in Australian natural history shortly thereafter, we're going to display a specimen of an Australian species named after him as well as a local species that bears his name.
The Jack Pine, Pinus banksiana, is the Newfoundland species we're using. We have a herbarium specimen of Banksia attenuata, commonly called Candlestick Banksia or Slender Banksia, to represent the Australian genus named for Banks. I'm hoping that some kind powderworker has a high-res digital photo of Banksia attenuata growing in a wild environment that they'd like to share, and give us the copyright to use it in our display panels. You would get a photo credit in the exhibit. If you are able to help me out, it is critically important that you are sure of your species identification!
I apologize for using the Oils list in such a manner, but if there was ever a likely place to find Australians that might be into nature and have photos to share, this is probably it! :-)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,
Mike
