Introduction

The Biennial conferences of the Systematics Association provide a forum for systematists from different disciplines to present and discuss their research. The Sixth Biennial Conference was held at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in August 2007. The conference was attended by about 240 delegates from a broad international audience. The format was a mixture of open sessions and focussed thematic symposia.
