Kew Record of Taxonomic Literature

[Mark Jackson]

Taxacommers,

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has launched a web based
version of the Kew Record of Taxonomic Literature. This valuable
resource, which is also available as a printed quarterly publication
from The Stationery Office, lists references to all publications
relating to the taxonomy of flowering plants, gymnosperms and
ferns along with references to phytogeography, nomenclature,
chemotaxonomy, molecular taxonomy chromosome surveys, floras
and botanical institutions. Papers of taxonomic interest in the fields
of anatomy and morphology, palynology, embryology and
reproductive biology are also included along with relevant
bibliographies and biographies.

The database currently contains some 175 thousand references
published from 1971 to 2000 with new references being added once
a week. The Kew Record can be accessed at

The printed quarterly publication, ISSN 0307-2835, is available from
