THE KEW RECORD, A NEW ANNUAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

Summary The Kew Record of Taxonomic Literature is intended to fulfil the need for a unified, comprehensive coverage of the world's taxonomic literature. It is to be an annual publication listing all articles, books and papers relating to the taxonomy of vascular plants, and will include all new names at every rank with the exception of cultivars. All papers relevant to the taxonomy, in a broad sense, of flowering plants, gymnosperms and ferns have been included, but those in related fields such as pure genetics, cytology and physiology have usually been omitted. Entries are arranged, wherever possible, in systematic groups, with more general papers contained in sections on nomenclature, chromosome surveys, chemotaxonomy, anatomy and morphology, palynology, embryology and reproductive biology. Sections are also included on bibliography, personalia, and botanical institutions, and there is a large section on floristics.
