since 1998, austin mast has been publishing results of ongoing cladistic analyses of dna sequence data for the subtribe banksiinae. his analyses have provided compelling evidence of the paraphyly of "banksia" with respect to "dryandra"; that is, it seems that "dryandra" arose from within the ranks of "banksia". early in 2007, mast and kevin thiele initiated a rearrangement of "banksia" by sinking "dryandra" into it as "b." ser. "dryandra". this transfer necessitated the setting aside of george's infrageneric arrangement of "dryandra"; thus "d." ser. "armatae" is no longer current. mast and thiele have foreshadowed publishing a full arrangement once dna sampling of "dryandra" is complete.
