There is doubt about the presence of a lignotuber. I do not see a reference to lignotuber in the cited articles. On the other hand, Mibus and Sedgley in "Early Lignotuber Formation in Banksia–Investigations into the Anatomy of the Cotyledonary Node of Two Banksia (Proteaceae) Species" note (page 577) "Whilst B. menziesii is clearly lignotuberous... with concealed lignotuber buds, confusion exists in the literature as to whether B. serrata is lignotuberous. B. serrata is characteristically arborescent, with a single stem. .... In his taxonomic survey of quantitative characters, Thiele (1993) was uncertain about the presence or absence of lignotubers in seedlings of B. serrata. George (1987)does not describe B. serrata as lignotuberous, stating that thisspecies is fire tolerant, sprouting from epicormic shoots. (Whilst Wikipedia is not about primary sources, I have seen the swelling at the base of this species but I have never seen an example of B. serrata recovering from fire from sprouting from this swelling.) I suspect a Wikipedia editor has assumed the swelling is a lignotuber.Gderrin (talk) 23:59, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, @Gderrin:, am buffing this for that so it can be mainpaged sometime Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:00, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:28, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's all that jumps out on a first read-through. I'll be back to look into sources and images. Please double-check my edits. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:55, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the sources, I'm seeing a little bit of inconsistency on formatting (check publisher locations and publishers for journals, for example) but I'm not going to fuss about that for GAC. The Calodema ref threw me a little. The way you cite Australian National Botanic Gardens is a little inconsistent. But, ultimately, nothing to hold up promotion here. I'll be back for a final look-through soon. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:50, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The sourcing/licesning on File:Saw Banksia flowers cropped.jpg needs to be looking into, I think. And I confess I'm unclear on the licensing of File:Banksia serrata0.jpg. Other than that, images look good; I love the cockatoo. I added an image of one of the cultivars. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:32, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
