A taxonomic revision of Australian northern sandalwood (Santalum lanceolatum, Santalaceae)

This study represents work completed as part of my PhD dissertation research at the University of California, Berkeley. I thank my advisor B. Baldwin for his advice and comments on the manuscript; A. Smith and W. Wagner for their comments on the manuscript and help with the taxonomy; two anonymous reviewers for comments on the manuscript; T. Page for providing plant material; L. Ocampo and B. Lepschi for their assistance in the field; and the following institutions for loan of herbarium material used in these analyses: BM, CANB, K, and UC. This research was partly funded by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a Department of Integrative Biology Graduate Research Grant (UC Berkeley), a Botany in Action Travel Grant (Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens), an American Society for Plant Taxonomists Graduate Research Grant, a Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation Lawrence Memorial Award, and a Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation Graduate Fellowship.
