Career
Cayzer was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2016 which enabled her to visit herbaria in Europe and South-East Asia to study the taxonomic data held on the Australian plant family Pittosporaceae. She was supported in this by her husband, Robin Cayzer.
She has continued to work on Australian plants, publishing further work on Pittosporaceae, a monograph on Gastrolobium, and more recently, a monograph on Daviesia, and work on insect pests in timber.
