Banksia Ser. Quercinae - According To George

According To George

In 1981, Alex George published a thorough revision of Banksia in his classic monograph The genus Banksia L.f. (Proteaceae). He reinstated B. ser. Quercinae, placing it within B. sect. Banksia, and redefining it as containing those species with awned perianths, and beaked follicles. Initially, the series contained three species, but in 1988 George moved B. baueri (Woolly Orange Banksia) into its own series, B. ser. Bauerinae, leaving just B. quercifolia (Oak-leaved Banksia) and B. oreophila (Western Mountain Banksia) in B. ser. Quercinae.
