TY - JOUR A1 - Mabberley, David J. T1 - Robert Brown 200 : introduction T2 - Cunninghamia : a journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia N2 - This issue of Cunninghamia includes a number of papers presented at Robert Brown 200, an international conference celebrating Robert Brown's time in New South Wales and his contribution to science. This conference, held at the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney on 8–10th May 2002, was one of a series around Australia, to celebrate the successes of Matthew Flinders' voyage, two hundred years after the Investigator touched various points in its circumnavigation of the Australian coast. Robert Brown (1773–1858) was selected by Joseph Banks as naturalist for the voyage and in May 1802, arrived in Sydney Cove: he was to spend much of the next three years based in New South Wales (for biographical details of Brown see Mabberley 1985).
