Early life and education

edit

Cayzer was born on 25 April 1952, daughter of Robert and Rita Webster.[3][4] She graduated from the Australian National University with a PhD in 1997.[5]

Career

edit

Cayzer was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2016 which enabled her to visit herbaria in Europe and South-East Asia to study the taxonomic data held on the Australian plant family Pittosporaceae.[6][7] She was supported in this by her husband, Robin Cayzer.[8]

She has continued to work on Australian plants, publishing further work on Pittosporaceae,[9][10][11][12] a monograph on Gastrolobium,[13] and more recently, a monograph on Daviesia,[14] and work on insect pests in timber.[15]
