The University and Jepson Herbaria have posted on their
web site the first issue of an online, refereed journal--
Constancea (named after Lincoln Constance).
Constancea, available at http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/constancea/ ,
takes over from University of California Publications
in Botany, which published its final volume (#82) in 2001.
