Introduction
Plant and fungal systematics PhD student at the Australian National University (ANU) investigating the evolution of the Australian orchid flora and their mycorrhizal symbionts.
I hold a Master of Scientific Studies (Biodiversity Science) from the University of New England (UNE), where my research focused on the taxonomy, systematics and conservation of Prostanthera (Lamiaceae).

Orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) associations in the Orchidaceae are thought to have been a major driver of diversification in the family. In the terrestrial orchid tribe Diurideae, it has long been hypothesised that OMF symbiont associations may reflect evolutionary relationships among orchid hosts. Given that recent phylogenomic efforts have been u...
With the simultaneous growth in interest from the mycological community to discover fungal
species and classify them, there is also an important need to assemble all taxonomic information
onto common platforms. Fungal classification is facing a rapidly evolving landscape and
organizing genera into an appropriate taxonomic hierarchy is central to...

The Global Consortium for the Classification of Fungi and fungus-like taxa is an international initiative of more than 550 mycologists to develop an electronic structure for the classification of these organisms. The members of the Consortium originate from 55 countries/regions worldwide, from a wide range of disciplines, and include senior, mid-ca...
Research into the systematics of Prostanthera recently revealed close evolutionary relationship among P. phylicifolia sens. str., the critically endangered P. gilesii, and a population of uncertain identity from the Central Tablelands of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Previous analyses were unable to establish whether genetic boundaries separate...
Research into the systematics of Prostanthera has recently revealed a close evolutionary relationship among P. phylicifolia s. str., the critically endangered P. gilesii, and a population of uncertain identity from the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia.

Prostanthera gilesii Althofer ex. B.J.Conn & T.C.Wilson is a critically endangered species from the Central Tablelands of New South Wales. A conservation management strategy is currently underway for this species, whose phylogenetic affinities are not known. Morphologically, P. gilesii resembles P. phylicifolia F.Muell. and a population of uncertai...
