Editing Banksia (section)

===Subgeneric arrangement===
[[Alex George (botanist)|Alex George]] arranged the genus into two subgenera—subgenus ''Isostylis'' (containing ''B. ilicifolia'', ''B. oligantha'' and ''B. cuneata'') and subgenus ''Banksia'' (containing all other species except those he considered dryandras)—in his 1981 monograph and 1999 treatment for the Flora of Australia series. He held that flower morphology was the key to relationships in the genus. Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele published the official merging of ''Dryandra'' within ''Banksia'' in 2007, recalibrating the genus into subgenus ''Banksia'' and subgenus ''Spathulatae''.<ref name="Mast & Thiele 2007">{{cite journal | first1 = Austin R. | last1 = Mast |last2=Thiele |first2=Kevin R.|date=2007 | title = The transfer of Dryandra R.Br. to Banksia L.f.
