Cas, I've removed your statement
Banksia violacea is mostly nonlignotuberous, though some plants with lignotubers have been found in the western part of its range.
from the description section, just while we figure out what the situation is. George 1981 refers to northern populations that "apparently do have them, though they have not been seen in post-fire situations". Lignotuberous plants continue to be mentioned in the 1984 and 1987 editions of The Banksia Book, and in the 1988 and 1991 editions of the Banksia Atlas. But the 1999 Flora of Australia states straight out that they are non-lignotuberous. My reading of this is that the claim that there are lignotuberous populations was shown to be false in the 1990s. Have you any other information?
I put a brief coverage of this in the ecology section, which you mustn't have noticed.

Mostly just minor prose fixes, but the article would surely be considered comprehensive if more on evolution is added. But if nothing out there is written on it, however unfortunate that may be, we'll have to make do. Otherwise, very nice. Mm40 ( talk) 16:33, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
