'''''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]].
==Taxonomy==
The first specimens of a ''Dryandra'' were collected by [[Archibald Menzies]], surgeon and naturalist to the [[Vancouver Expedition]]. At the request of [[Joseph Banks]], Menzies collected natural history specimens wherever possible during the voyage. During September and October 1791, while the expedition were anchored at [[King George Sound]], he collected numerous plant specimens, including the first specimens of ''[[Banksia sessilis|B. sessilis]]'' (Parrotbush) and ''[[Banksia pellaeifolia|B. pellaeifolia]]''. Upon Menzies' return to England, he turned his specimens over to Banks; as with most other specimens in Banks' library, they remained undescribed for many years.<ref name="Cavanagh 2006">{{cite book | author = Cavanagh, Tony and [[Margaret Pieroni]] | year = 2006 | title = The Dryandras | publisher = Melbourne: Australian Plants Society (SGAP Victoria); Perth: Wildflower Society of Western Australia | id = ISBN 1-876473-54-1}}</ref>
Further specimens were collected in late 1792 by [[Jacques Labillardière]], one of five naturalists in [[Bruni d'Entrecasteaux]]'s expedition in search of the lost expedition of [[La Pérouse]]. While ashore west of [[Esperance Bay]] between 11 and 18 December, Labillardière collected the first specimens of ''[[Banksia nivea|B. nivea]]'' (Honeypot Dryandra).<ref name="Cavanagh 2006"/>

Endemic to [[Western Australia]], ''Dryandra'' occurs virtually throughout the [[South West Botanic Province]], and also, to a much lesser degree, in southwest parts of the [[Eremaean Province]].
