Its leaves are linear, Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide on a hairy petiole up to Template:Cvt long. There are between five and ten sharply pointed serrations up to Template:Cvt long on each side of the leaves. The flowers are arranged in sessile heads of between thirty-five and forty. The flowers are creamy-yellow or yellow with the perianth Template:Cvt long, and the pistil Template:Cvt long, red and downcurved. Flowering occurs from July to August and the fruit is a sparsely hairy follicle Template:Cvt long with a flattened tip.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
This species was first formally described in 1996 by Alex George who gave it the name Dryandra rufistylis and published the description in the journal Nuytsia from material he collected near Woodanilling.[2][4] In 2007 Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred all dryandras to the genus Banksia and renamed this species Banksia rufistylis.[5][6]
Distribution and habitat
Banksia rufistylis grows in kwongan and woodland between the Woodanilling, Nyabing and Tarin Rock districts.[2]

This banksia is classified as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[1] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[7]
