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.[1]

It is noted as the journal where Robert F. Thorne first published the Thorne system of flowering plant classification in 1968.[2]
