''Banksia obovata'', commonly known as '''Wedge-leaved Dryandra''', is a Shrub endemic to Western Australia . It was known as ''Dryandra cuneata'' until 2007, when all ''Dryandra'' species were transferred to '' Banksia '' by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele . As there was already a plant named '' Banksia Cuneata '' (Matchstick Banksia), Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet; their choice, "obovata", is from the Latin ''ob-'' ("inverse") and ''ovum'' ("egg"), in reference to the obovate leaves.
