| The pavilions will house plants from temperate regions of the southern hemisphere such as passion flowers, camellias, banksias, tea trees and wattles. |
| There are a great many flowering bushes such as the distinctively Australian banksias, and red-tailed skinks are often seen sunning themselves on the rocks. |
| For botany lessons, we crossed the road into the botanical gardens, there to examine the leaves of ash, oak, elm, plane, pine but no wattles, gums or banksias. |
| Melaleucas and bottlebrushes make excellent screening plants, stand-alone specimens and accents among other native species such as banksias and grevilleas. |
| Nectar eaters love trees such as grevillias, banksias and bottlebrush. |
| Some of the younger gums and sheoaks, the small heath trees and banksias, browned and gave up their ghosts and stood there. |
