Muelleria is a peer-reviewed scientific journal on botany published by the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.^[1] It focuses on topics relating to plants, algae, and fungi in the southern hemisphere and Australia in particular.^[2] The journal was named in honour of Victorian Government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller.^[3] Muelleria commenced publication in 1955 with funding from the Maud Gibson Trust.^[3] The trust was initiated in 1945 following the donation of £20,000 by Maud Gibson, a daughter of William Gibson, founder of the Foy & Gibson department store chain.^[4]

Muelleria was one of a number of botanical journals initiated by Australian herbariums after World War II, reflecting the increased level of botanical research undertaken at this time.^[3] James Hamlyn Willis was the editor of the three initial issues.^[5]
