Abstract
This is the second of two volumes descriing the Australian Proteaceae. The volume completes the treatment of the subfamily Grevillioideae, with over 640 species in trive Grevilleae (Grevillea, Hakea) and tribe Banksieae (Banksia, Dryandra, Musgravea and Austromuellera). Grevillea and Banksia, in particular, are conspicuous components of the Australian flora, and important in the horticultural and cut flower trades. In habit they range from rainforest trees to prostrate shrubs. Dryandra is endemic to south-western Western Australia, while Grevillea, Hakea and Banksia are widespread, especially in the southern states. Musgrevea and Austromuellera are confined to rainforests in Queensland.
