Aliso is the scientific journal of CalBG. International in scope, it specializes in plant evolutionary biology and systematics. It also features papers on floristics and other facets of botanical research pertaining to the western United States and areas of comparable climate and vegetation. The journal is named for the aliso, the Spanish word used by the early Californians for the western sycamore (Platanus racemosa Nutt.).

Published in print and digital formats, this open-access journal is hosted online by Scholarship@Claremont, the scholarship repository of the Claremont Colleges. Article pdfs can be downloaded back to Volume 1 (1948). Further information about the journal, including print subscription and instructions on manuscript submission, can be found at http://scholarship.claremont.edu/aliso/.

Occasional Publications are print-published at irregular intervals in volumes of various sizes, usually containing a single contribution per volume. The series features results of original botanical research by members of the Garden staff or by botanists who have collaborated in a Garden program. Recent volumes have been devoted to aspects of plant conservation.
