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 in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brown's Taxonomic Arrangement Of Dryandra
Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773), Robert Brown's taxonomic arrangement of ''Dryandra'' was the first arrangement of what is now Banksia ser. Dryandra, ''Banksia'' ser. ''Dryandra''. His initial arrangement was published in 1810, and a further arrangement, including an infrageneric classification, followed in 1830. Aspects of Brown's arrangements can be recognised in the later arrangements of George Bentham and Alex George (botanist), Alex George. Background The dryandras are a group of proteaceae, proteaceous shrubs endemic to southwest Western Australia. For nearly two hundred years they were considered a separate genus, having been published at that rank in 1810 by Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773), Robert Brown. In 2007 they were transferred into the genus ''Banksia'' as ''B.'' ser. ''Dryandra''. There are now nearly 100 species, plus numerous subspecies and varieties. Brown's 1810 arrangement The genus ''Dryandra'' was first published by Brown in "On the natural orde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meissner's Taxonomic Arrangement Of Dryandra
Carl Meissner's taxonomic arrangement of ''Dryandra'', now ''Banksia'' ser. ''Dryandra'', was published in 1856 as part of his chapter on the Proteaceae in A. P. de Candolle's '' Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis''. It replaced the 1830 arrangement of Robert Brown, and remained current until superseded by the 1870 arrangement of George Bentham. Background The dryandras are a group of proteaceous shrubs endemic to southwest Western Australia. For nearly two hundred years they were considered a separate genus, having been published at that rank in 1810 by Robert Brown. In 2007 it was transferred into the genus ''Banksia'' as ''B.'' ser. ''Dryandra''. There are now just under 100 species, plus numerous subspecies and varieties. The first infrageneric arrangement of ''Dryandra'' was Brown's 1810 arrangement, which listed 13 species, but did not attempt an infrageneric classification. Twenty years later, Brown published a revised arrangement which divided 23 r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bentham's Taxonomic Arrangement Of Dryandra
George Bentham's taxonomic arrangement of ''Dryandra'' (now ''B.'' ser. ''Dryandra'') was published in 1870, in Volume 5 of Bentham's ''Flora Australiensis''. It replaced the 1856 arrangement of Carl Meissner, and stood for over a century before being replaced by the 1996 arrangement of Alex George. Background The dryandras are a group of proteaceous shrubs endemic to southwest Western Australia. For nearly two hundred years they were considered a separate genus, having been published at that rank in 1810 by Robert Brown. In 2007 it was transferred into the genus ''Banksia'' as ''B.'' ser. ''Dryandra''. There are now just under 100 species, plus numerous subspecies and varieties. The first infrageneric arrangement of ''Dryandra'' was Brown's 1810 arrangement, which listed 13 species, but did not attempt an infrageneric classification. Twenty years later, Brown published a revised arrangement which divided 23 recognised species in three subgenera, and placed one ...

George's Taxonomic Arrangement Of Dryandra
Alex George (botanist), Alex George's taxonomic arrangement of ''Dryandra'' was the first modern-day arrangement of that taxon. First published in ''Nuytsia (journal), Nuytsia'' in 1996, it superseded Bentham's taxonomic arrangement of Dryandra, the arrangement of George Bentham, which had stood for over a hundred years; it would later form the basis for George's 1999 treatment of ''Dryandra'' for the ''Flora of Australia (series), Flora of Australia''. In accordance with contemporary thinking, George treated ''Dryandra'' as a genus, dividing it into three subgenera, the largest of which was divided into 24 series. The arrangement stood until 2007, when ''Dryandra'' was transferred into ''Banksia'' as Banksia ser. Dryandra, ''B.'' ser. ''Dryandra''. No alternative has yet been proposed. Background The dryandras are a group of 94 species in the plant family Proteaceae. Endemic to south-west Western Australia, they grow in forms varying from prostrate shrubs to small trees. ''D ...

Banksia
''Banksia'' is a genus of around 170 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes, and woody fruiting "cones" and heads. ''Banksias'' range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall. They are found in a wide variety of landscapes: sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts. Heavy producers of nectar, banksias are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. They are an important food source for nectarivorous animals, including birds, bats, rats, possums, stingless bees and a host of invertebrates. Further, they are of economic importance to Australia's nursery and cut flower industries. However, these plants are threatened by a number of processes including land clearing, frequent burning and disease, and a number of species ar ...

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...

Nuytsia (journal)
''Nuytsia'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Western Australian Herbarium. It publishes papers on systematic botany, giving preference to papers related to the flora of Western Australia. Nearly twenty percent of Western Australia's plant taxa In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and ... have been published in ''Nuytsia''. The journal was established in 1970 and has appeared irregularly since. Kevin Thiele and Juliet Wege have been in the editorial committee . ''Nuytsia'' is named after the monospecific genus ''Nuytsia'', whose only species is '' Nuytsia floribunda'', the Western Australian Christmas tree. Occasionally, the journal has published special issues, such as an issue in 2007 substantially expanding described species from Western Australia ...
