'''''Banksia'' ser. ''Dryandra''''' is a series of 94 species of [[shrub]] to small [[tree]] in the plant genus ''[[Banksia]]''. It was considered a separate genus named '''''Dryandra''''' until early 2007, when it was merged into ''Banksia'' on the basis of extensive molecular and morphological evidence that ''Banksia'' was [[paraphyly|paraphyletic]] with respect to ''Dryandra''.

They are found only in the southwestern corner of [[Western Australia]]. They have never been popular among gardeners among the rest of Australia due to their dislike of the humid and subtropical conditions which dominate the east coast.

The series was named in honour of Swedish [[botany|botanist]] [[Jonas C. Dryander]].

They are arguably among the most attractive and showy of all members of Proteaceae.

''Banksia'' ser. ''Dryandra'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species, including the [[Dryandra Moth]].
