Muelleria
Muelleria is the botanical research journal of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.
First published in 1955 by the National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, Muelleria publishes papers on Southern Hemisphere plant, algal and fungal systematics, particularly those relating to Australia.
Acceptable submissions include: taxonomic revisions; phylogenetic and biogeographical studies; short papers describing new taxa (including overseas members of genera represented in the indigenous flora of Australia), documentation of nationally significant new records, or resolutions of nomenclatural matters; historical analyses relevant to systematics; and any research contributing to our knowledge of plant, algal or fungal diversity.
Special issues or reviews can be considered upon discussion with the Editor in Chief. Book reviews are included as space permits. All papers undergo external peer review.
Editor in Chief: Alastair Robinson
Associate Editors: Naveed Davoodian, Tom May, Aaron McArdle, Andre Messina, Chris Jackson, Daniel Murphy, Anna Syme and Frank Udovicic.
Online access
Papers in Muelleria are published online when they are ready for publication. Printed volumes containing recently published papers are produced on a rolling cycle as sufficient material is gathered, typically in April/May. All previous issues of Muelleria are available online.
