series_authority = Meisn.|"Banksia" ser. "Quercinae" is a valid
botanic name for a series of "Banksia ". First published byCarl Meissner in 1856, the name has had three circumscriptions.According to Meissner
"B." ser. "Quercinae" was first published in 1856, in
Carl Meissner 's chapter on theProteaceae inA. P. de Candolle 's "Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis ". It was one of four series into which the subgenus "Eubanksia " was divided. These four series were defined in terms of leaf characters, with series "Quercinae" containing the species with strongly dentate, cuneate to obovate leaves.cite encyclopedia | author = Meissner, Carl | year = 1856 | chapter = Proteaceae | editor = de Candolle, A. P. | encyclopedia =Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis | volume = 14 | location = Paris | publisher = Sumptibus Sociorum Treuttel et Wurtz] As they were defined on leaf characters alone, all of Meissner's series were highly heterogeneous.The genus Banksia L.f. (Proteaceae)]The placement and circumscription of "B." ser. "Quercinae" in Meissner's arrangement may be summarised as follows::"

George Bentham published his arrangement, discarding all four of Meissner's series.cite encyclopedia | author = Bentham, George | year = 1870 | title = Banksia | encyclopedia =Flora Australiensis | volume = Volume 5: Myoporineae to Proteaceae | pages = 541–562 | location = London | publisher = L. Reeve & Co.]According to George
In 1981,
Alex George published a thorough revision of "Banksia" in his classic monograph "The genus Banksia L.f. (Proteaceae) ". He reinstated "B." ser. "Quercinae", placing it within "B." sect. "Banksia", and redefining it as containing those species with awnedperianth s, and beaked follicles. Initially, the series contained three species, but in 1988 George moved "B. baueri" (Woolly Orange Banksia) into its own series, "B." ser. "Bauerinae",cite journal | author = George, Alex S. | year = 1988 | title = New taxa and notes on "Banksia" L.f.

"Quercinae".The placement and circumscription of "B." ser. "Quercinae" in George's taxonomic arrangement of "Banksia" may be summarised as follows:cite encyclopedia | last = George | first = Alex S. | authorlink = Alex George | year = 1999 | title = Banksia | editor = Wilson, Annette (ed.) | encyclopedia = Flora of Australia | volume = Volume 17B: Proteaceae 3: Hakea to Dryandra | pages = 175–251 | location = Collingwood, Victoria | publisher = CSIRO Publishing / Australian Biological Resources Study | id = ISBN 0-643-06454-0] :"

In 1996,
Kevin Thiele and Pauline Ladiges undertook a cladistic analysis of morphological characters of "Banksia", which yielded aphylogeny somewhat at odds with George's taxonomic arrangement. "B." ser. "Quercinae" was found to be monophyletic, though quite closely related to "B." ser. "Spicigerae". They therefore retained the series, placing it next to "B." ser. "Spicigerae" in their arrangement.cite journal | author = Thiele, Kevin and Pauline Y. Ladiges | year = 1996 | title = A Cladistic Analysis of Banksia (Proteaceae) | journal =Australian Systematic Botany | volume = 9 | issue = 5 | pages = 661–733 | doi = 10.1071/SB9960661]The placement and circumscription of "B." ser. "Quercinae" in Thiele and Ladiges' arrangement may be summarised as follows::"
Banksia "::"B." subg. "Isostylis" (3 species)::"B. elegans" (incertae sedis )"::"B." subg. "Banksia":::"B." ser. "Tetragonae" (4 species):::"B." ser. "Lindleyanae" (1 species):::"B." ser.

"Dryandroideae" (1 species):::"B." ser. "Abietinae" (4 subseries, 15 species, 8 varieties)Thiele and Ladiges' arrangement remained current only until 1999, when George's treatment of the genus for the "Flora of Australia" series of monographs was published. This was essentially a revision of George's 1981 arrangement, which took into account some of Thiele and Ladiges' data, but rejected their overall arrangement. With respect to "B." ser. "Quercinae", George's 1999 arrangement was no different to that of 1988.
Recent developments
Since 1998,
Austin Mast has been publishing results of ongoing cladistic analyses ofDNA sequence data for the subtribeBanksiinae . His analyses suggest aphylogeny that is very greatly different to George's taxonomic arrangement, including finding "Banksia" to be paraphyletic with respect to "Dryandra ". With respect to "B." ser. "Quercinae", however, Mast's analysis concurs with previous arrangements, placing its two species alone in a clade that is fairly widely separated from other clades.cite journal | author = Mast, Austin R. | year = 1998 | title = Molecular systematics of subtribe Banksiinae ("Banksia" and "Dryandra"; Proteaceae) based on cpDNA and nrDNA sequence data: implications for taxonomy and biogeography | journal = Australian Systematic Botany | volume = 11 | pages = 321–342 | doi = 10.1071/SB97026] cite journal | author = Mast, Austin R. and Thomas J.

"Spathulatae" for the species having spoon-shaped
cotyledon s. The members of "B." ser. "Quercinae" fall within "B." subg. "Spathulatae", but no further details have been proffered. Mast and Thiele have foreshadowed publishing a full arrangement once DNA sampling of "Dryandra" is complete.cite journal | first = Austin | last = Mast | authorlink = Austin Mast | coauthors =Kevin Thiele | year = 2007 | title = The transfer of Dryandra R.Br. to Banksia L.f.
