Dryandra Verae
''Dryandra'' subg. ''Dryandra'' is an obsolete clade of plant. It was a series within the former genus ''Dryandra'' (now ''Banksia'' ser. ''Dryandra''). The name was first published at sectional rank as ''Dryandra verae'' in 1830, before being renamed ''Eudryandra'' in 1847, the replaced by the autonym at subgenus rank in 1996. It was ultimately discarded in 2007 when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk ''Dryandra'' into '' Banksia''. Brown's ''Dryandra verae'' ''Dryandra verae'' ("True Dryandra") was published by Brown in his 1830 ''Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae''. Brown's arrangement of ''Dryandra'' split a single species out into a separate genus, and divided the remaining ''Dryandra'' species into three groups according to what Brown perceived to be variations in the number of seed separators. He allowed for these groups to be treated at subgenus or section rank, but they are now treated as having been published as sections. ''Dryandra verae'' was ...

Dryandra Formosa From Flora Australasica
''Banksia'' ser. ''Dryandra'' is a series of 94 species of shrub to small tree in the plant genus ''Banksia''. It was considered a separate genus named ''Dryandra'' until early 2007, when it was merged into ''Banksia'' on the basis of extensive molecular and morphological evidence that ''Banksia'' was paraphyly, paraphyletic with respect to ''Dryandra''. Taxonomy The dryandras were named in honour of Swedish botany, botanist Jonas C. Dryander. The first specimens of a ''Dryandra'' were collected by Archibald Menzies, surgeon and naturalist to the Vancouver Expedition. At the request of Joseph Banks, Menzies collected natural history specimens wherever possible during the voyage. During September and October 1791, while the expedition were anchored at King George Sound, he collected numerous plant specimens, including the first specimens of ''Banksia sessilis, B. sessilis'' (Parrotbush) and ''Banksia pellaeifolia, B. pellaeifolia''. Upon Menzies' return to England, he t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hemiclidia
''Dryandra'' subg. ''Hemiclidia'' is an obsolete plant taxon that encompassed material that is now included in ''Banksia''. Published at genus rank as ''Hemiclidia'' by Robert Brown in 1830, it was set aside by George Bentham in 1870, but reinstated at subgenus rank by Alex George in 1996. In 2007, all ''Dryandra'' species were transferred into ''Banksia'' at series rank, and the infrageneric ''Dryandra'' taxa, including ''D.'' subg. ''Hemiclidia'', were set aside. According to Brown In 1810, Robert Brown published the genus ''Dryandra'' in his ''On the Proteaceae of Jussieu''. Thirteen species were published, including ''Dryandra falcata'' (now '' Banksia falcata''), but no infrageneric arrangement was proffered. Twenty years later, Brown published a further eleven species and the first infrageneric arrangement in his '' Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae''. By this time, Brown had observed the tendency in ''D. falcata'' for one of the two ovules i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
