Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Australian Systematic Botany publishes research on the taxonomy, biogeography, and evolution of plant groups, including fossils. Recent articles focus on phylogenetic analyses, often using molecular data, to resolve taxonomic uncertainties, describe new species, and understand evolutionary relationships within Australian and Australasian flora. Studies frequently involve revising genera, clarifying species delimitations, and investigating diversification dynamics and biogeographic history.
