With this issue of Australian Plants we are recognising the 50th anniversary of the first issue of the journal in December 1959. The journal has been produced continuously, but not completely regularly, throughout the intervening years.While recognising the hstory of the journal itself, we must pay tribute to William H Payne. It is an astounding achievement that Bill Payne was the sole editor and the manager of production of Australian Plants for in excess of 40 of its 50 years.
