Notice to readers: the two papers in issue 3 and the first three papers in issue 4 of volume 35 of Australian Systematic Botany were incorrectly paginated. The first paper in issue 3 (SB22002) was originally published with page numbers A–AL instead of 187–224 and the second paper (SB21030) was published with page numbers 127–179 instead of 225–277. Following that, the first three papers in issue 4 also had incorrect page ranges. The first paper in issue 4 (SB21032) was originally published with page numbers 181-197 instead of 279–295, the second paper (SB21027) was published with page numbers 198–218 instead of 296–316 and the third paper (SB22010) was published page numbers 219–227 instead of 317–325. Corrigenda have been published to correct these errors and the correctly paginated versions appear in the issues. If you downloaded an incorrectly paginated version of one of these articles, please download a corrected version. The Publisher sincerely apologises to the authors, subscribers and readers for any inconvenience caused by this error.

We analyse the terrestrial biogeographical regions of the world and how they have been classified in kingdoms and subkingdoms. After a brief historical analysis, we characterise the kingdoms, subkingdoms, regions, subregions, and transition zones and provide lists of the names that have been given to them. This biogeographic regionalisation is of interest to systematists, biogeographers and other biologists.

SB21030Morphological and molecular evidence refute a broad circumscription for Pultenaea glabra (Fabaceae: Mirbelieae), with implications for taxonomy, biogeography, and conservation

The threatened plant Pultenaea glabra is actually a complex of eight species, six of which are new to science. Pultenaea glabra is less common than previously thought, and five of the six new species are also rare and likely threatened, some critically so. This study has significant implications for the conservation of unique flora of the upper Blue Mountains and surrounding country.
