 "Leptophyllae is a
valid botanic name for a subseries of "Banksia".It was published by Kevin Thiele in 1996, but discarded by Alex George in 1999.The name came about after a cladistic analysis of "Banksia" by Thiele and Pauline Ladiges yielded a phylogeny somewhat at odds with the accepted taxonomic arrangement, prompting them to publish a revised arrangement.
