About the Image

The bull banksia (Banksia grandis) of southwestern Australia. New molecular data suggest that a clade of erect and prostrate shrub banksias with tough, serrate leaves is more closely related to the co-occurring genus Dryandra than to this and other species of tree banksias.

Historical biogeography and the origin of stomatal distributions in Banksia and Dryandra (Proteaceae) based on their cpDNA phylogeny, pp. 1311-1323 in this issue.
