Saw this in a display garden at a local nursery, I thought maybe a banksia but the leaves don't seem to match, at least not with images I found, they almost look like grevillea leaves.

Oh, I just saw a photo that looks a lot like that.....
San Marcos Growers photo gallery. Look under the B's at Banksia ericifolia. Do you think that's it?

The B. ericifolia, known as the Heath or Heath leaved Banksia, seems to match the description the best, the narrow stems are a match.
