The leaves are usually straighter, more erect and more coarsely lobed than in var. kippistiana . and flowering is later. Vegetatively similar to D. sclerophylla but can be distinguished easily by the slender pistil that is prominently looped just before anthesis. Since publication of the Flora of Australia the Australian Plant Census accepts A.R.Mast & K.R.Thiele's transfer of Dryandra to Banksia in Austral. Syst. Bot. 20: 63-71 (2007). As a result this taxon is treated under Banksia kippistiana var. paenepeccata .
