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

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]

Gastrolobium praemorsum is a scrambling shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a member of the family Fabaceae and produces red pea-flowers from late winter to early summer. It is not known whether this species shares the toxic properties of many other members of the genus Gastrolobium.

<i>Daviesia</i> Genus of plants

Daviesia, commonly known as bitter-peas, is a genus of about 130 species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, and is endemic to Australia. Plants in the genus Daviesia are shrubs or small trees with leaves modified as phyllodes or reduced to scales. The flowers are arranged singly or in groups, usually in leaf axils, the sepals joined at the base with five teeth, the petals usually yellowish with reddish markings and the fruit a pod.
