Dryandra ser. Armatae is an obsolete series within the former genus Dryandra (now Banksia ser. Dryandra). It was first published by George Bentham in 1870, and was given a new circumscription by Alex George in 1996, but was ultimately discarded in 2007 when Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele sunk Dryandra into Banksia.
Bentham's definition of D. ser. Armatae was "Flower-heads usually large, mostly terminal, enclosed in floral leaves longer than the flowers. Involucres broad. Perianths above 1 in. long. Stigmatic end of the style slender, often scarcely distinct. Leaves with prickly teeth or lobes.". The placement and circumscription of the series may be summarised as follows:[1]
- Dryandra (now Banksia ser. Dryandra)
- D. sect. Eudryandra
- D. ser. Armatæ
- D. quercifolia (now B. heliantha)
- D. praemorsa (now B. undata)
- D. cuneata (now B. obovata)
- D. falcata (now B. falcata)
- D. armata (now B. armata)
- D. longifolia (now B. prolata)
- D. Fraseri (now B. fraseri)
- D. ser. Floribundæ (5 species, 2 varieties)
- D. ser. Concinnæ (4 species)
- D. ser. Formosæ (5 species)
- D. ser. Niveae (4 species, 2 varieties)
- D. ser. Obvallatæ (12 species)
- D. ser. Gymnocephalæ (3 species)
- D. ser. Armatæ
- D. sect. Aphragma (7 species, 2 varieties)
- D. sect. Eudryandra
According to George
Bentham's arrangement stood until 1996, when Alex George published his revision of Dryandra. George gave D. ser. Armatae a different and somewhat broader circumscription, encompassing 20 species, including just four of the seven included there by Bentham. The species included are mostly erect shrubs with large conspicuous yellow flowers heads, easily detached follicles and a notched seed wing.[2]
George's placement and circumscription of D. ser. Armatae, as amended in 1999[3] and 2005,[4] may be summarised as follows:
