Volume 17 was a special issue of the scientific journal TELOPEA in honour of Dr Elizabeth Anne Brown who sadly died November 2013. This volume acknowledges her contributions to systematic botany and celebrates her achievements through her career of twenty-four years at the National Herbarium of New South Wales.
Dr Brown had an interest in the systematics of a broad range of plant groups (including Asteraceae, Ericaceae, Lentibulariaceae, Lamiaceae, Loganiaceae), but her main passion was the systematics of Liverworts.
