From today's featured article

Banksia serrata (Abre numa nova janela), the old man banksia, is a species of woody shrub (Abre numa nova janela) or tree in the family Proteaceae (Abre numa nova janela). It is found from Queensland (Abre numa nova janela) to Victoria (Abre numa nova janela), commonly growing as a gnarled tree up to 16 m (50 ft) in height, though it can be much smaller in more exposed areas. It has wrinkled grey bark and shiny dark green serrated leaves. The large yellow or greyish-yellow flower spikes (Abre numa nova janela) turn grey as they age, and pollinated flowers develop into large, grey, woody seed pods (Abre numa nova janela). This Banksia (Abre numa nova janela) species is one of four collected by Joseph Banks (Abre numa nova janela) in 1770, and one of four published in 1782 as part of Carl Linnaeus the Younger (Abre numa nova janela)'s original description of the genus. Throughout its range, it grows exclusively in sandy soils, and is usually the dominant plant where it grows in scrubland (Abre numa nova janela) or low woodland (Abre numa nova janela). B. serrata is pollinated (Abre numa nova janela) by and provides food for a wide array of vertebrate (Abre numa nova janela) and invertebrate (Abre numa nova janela) animals in the autumn and winter months. It is a common plant of parks and gardens. (Full article... (Abre numa nova janela))
