In 2011, Schuster created the genus Duma for some species previously placed in Muehlenbeckia, but which were shown by molecular phylogenetic studies to form a distinct clade. The name is derived from the Latin for "thorn-bush."[6]

The RBG has raised almost $1 million through private donations to the Pauline Ladiges Plant Systematics Research Fellowship, with taxonomist Tanja Schuster appointed inaugural fellow. Dr Schuster will work with the plant science and biodiversity team in the herbarium.
