火炬树桩总想告诉大家火柴花是自己的后代，但火柴花除了能点燃豌豆之外，还是一个用拳头说话的战士，比火炬树桩只会摆出凶相吓唬敌人强多了。 Torchwood always tries to tell everyone Banksia Boxer is his descendant, but not only can Banksia Boxer light peas, he's also a warrior that has a "let the fists do the talking" attitude, being obviously much stronger than Torchwood, who can only make a scary face to scare enemies.

Banksia Boxer (火柴花拳手, lit. "Match Flower Boxer"; pinyin: Huǒcháihuā Quánshǒu) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 1.8.2 update. He attacks zombies by punching them one tile in front of him. After dealing a certain amount of damage (c.a. four attack cycles), he will set his petals on fire and start to do more damage. He can also be set on fire by other plants. When he is on fire, he can light up peas that pass through him, just like Torchwood. However, the flames have limited duration.

One of Banksia Boxer's Puzzle Pieces can be traded in, along with ten red rocks, in order to obtain one of Flame Flower Queen's Puzzle Pieces.

Origins

Banksia Boxer's designs is based on the matchstick banksia (Banksia cuneata), also known as the Quairading banksia, an endangered species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae.

His name is a mix of "match box," a box used to hold matches; "flower box," a potting device to hold flowers; and "boxer," an athlete from the sport of boxing. His ability is a reference to how matches ignite when they are struck against a suitable substance.

His costume, a pair of red boxing gloves, is a reference to how he attacks zombies, and another reference to the boxing motif with the plant.

Strategies

In Frostbite Caves, Banksia Boxer can be used as a mixture of Bonk Choy and Torchwood who deals more damage than a regular Bonk Choy at the cost of not being able to attack behind him. If you want to use him outside of Frostbite Caves, make sure you have him to at least level 3 or 4, you can also try to team him up with Flame Flower Queen if he is not yet at level 2.

He makes a perfect combo with Snapdragon. As Snapdragon can breathe fire when the zombies are in his range, these flames can make Banksia Boxer's petals lit on fire, basically making him able to stay on fire almost indefinitely as long as there is a zombie in his range. He can also act as a support in case Banksia Boxer is getting overwhelmed.

Trivia

• He reuses Bonk Choy's punching sound effects.
  • Also, his Plant Food sound originally reused Lava Guava's screaming Plant Food sound effect, however, in the 2.0.0 update, this was replaced with a new sound effect.
• He is the only plant introduced in the 1.8.2 update that is not an Orange quality plant. Instead, he is a Purple quality plant.
• The punches he does are considered fire damage, which will melt slowed zombies.
• If one or more Banksia Boxers are in front of a Flame Flower Queen and the Flame Flower Queen sets the tiles in front of her alight, she will set fire to the Banksia Boxers' petals.
  • A similar thing happens when a Fire Peashooter shoots a fire pea in a lane with one or more Banksia Boxers.
• His range is slightly longer than Bonk Choy's, and a bit longer than Torch Kongfu Zombie's, as seen in the gallery.
• Though he can light up peas, he cannot light up Primal Peashooter's pea.
• When a level is started in Frostbite Caves, his petals will be set on fire from the start.
