List of Banksia ser. Dryandra species

Inflorescence of Banksia sessilis (Parrotbush), a species in B. ser. Dryandra

B. ser. Dryandra is a large series in the plant genus Banksia. It was treated at genus rank until 2007, when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred it into Banksia as a series within B. subg. Banksia.[1]

Before 2007, 94 Dryandra species were recognised.[2] In the transfer into Banksia, D. prionotes was overlooked, and B. subulata (Awled Honeypot) was transferred incertae sedis rather than in B. ser. Dryandra.[1] D. prionotes has since been transferred into Banksia as Banksia prionophylla, but it was not explicitly placed in B. ser. Dryandra. The series therefore now consists of 92 species.

This is a list of Banksia ser. Dryandra species:
