Dear Colleagues,

As is apparent from the title, this Topical Collection “Feature Papers in Plant Systematics, Taxonomy, Nomenclature and Classification” aims to collect high-quality research articles, short communications, and review articles in all fields about the latest studies and feature papers in plant systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature and classification.

For the selected works of this section on plant systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature and classification, we will focus on plant discovery and identification, description and nomenclature, classification and evolution. Topics covered in this section include, but are not limited to:

• molecular phylogenetics
• taxonomy and nomenclature
• community phylogenetics
• phylogeography
• plant domestication 
• speciation and species concepts
• historical biogeography
• character evolution
