Last glacial maximum (LGM) and present environmental niche modeling projections provided for the samples of the hairpin banksia B. cunninghamii clade nDNA data set, with B. vincentia removed and augmented with specimen records from the Atlas of Living Australia website (http://www.ala.org.au [accessed 25 April 2020]). Modelling was provided for the (T) total data set and for the three groups of populations identified from analysis of the nDNA data set: (N) northern group found north of the Hunter river in New South Wales; (S) southern group found south of the Towamba River in southern New South Wales; (C) central group found between the Hunter river and Towamba River. The total data set showed a present‐day optimal climatic envelope similar to its southeastern Australia range but extending much farther south. The highest optimality occurred away from the coast along most of the eastern side of the continent, along the southern coast of the mainland, and extensively throughout the island of Tasmania. When the data set was restricted to southern, central, or northern groups, the projected optimality envelope was generally similar to the current distribution, although it extended north of the Hunter River corridor for the central group, and south to the north coast of the island of Tasmania for the southern group. Projections of each data set for the LGM were all provided a lower suitability, although the range of suitability was more extensive by latitude.
