Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original research on plant taxonomy and evolutionary botany with a worldwide scope, but with a particular focus on the floristics of the Western United States. Aliso, first published in 1948, is the scientific journal of the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. The journal is named for the western sycamore, Platanus racemosa, which was commonly called by its Spanish name aliso.
It is noted as the journal where Robert F. Thorne first published the Thorne system of flowering plant classification in 1968.
Aliso, also known as Pan de Azúcar, is a volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes on the east of Antisana volcano. The complex contains a semicircular western ridge and lava domes. The volcano has erupted rhyolites and dacites and some andesitic lava flows on a ridge above Baeza. It is covered with tundra and cloud forests. At least two eruptions of Pumayacu occurred during the Holocene; one dated 4400 years ago and another's lapilli deposits overlie a cultural horizon 2000 years old. Older eruptions have been dated at 1.15 ± 0.07 Ma and are of high- potassium types. They compromise typical arc-derived lavas with fractional crystallization and other differentiation processes.
