George's taxonomic arrangement of Dryandra

First published in Nuytsia in 1996, it superseded the arrangement of George Bentham, which had stood for over a hundred years; it would later form the basis for George's 1999 treatment of Dryandra for the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.

Endemic to south-west Western Australia, they grow in forms varying from prostrate shrubs to small trees.

[1] This formed the basis for his 1999 treatment of Dryandra for the Flora of Australia series, in which he published one new species.

[3] George's arrangement remained current until Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred Dryandra into Banksia in 2007.

Mast and Thiele were not then ready to tender a new arrangement, so as an interim measure they transferred Dryandra into Banksia at series, thus minimising the nomenclatural disruption of the transfer.
