 In 2007, Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred "Dryandra" into "Banksia", on the grounds that "Banksia" was paraphyletic with respect to "Dryandra".Mast and Thiele were not yet ready to proffer an arrangement for the new circumscription of "Banksia", so as an interim measure they transferred "Dryandra" at series rank, so as to minimise disruption to the nomenclature.Thus the infrageneric arrangement of "Dryandra" has been set aside, at least temporarily, and hence none of Meissner's infrageneric taxa are in current use.
