A journal of plant systematics, phytogeography and vegetation ecology.

Here is the third in a series of annual supplements to the Index Kewensis. The latest Index includes information on new and changed names of seedbearing plants at the level of family and below, and serves as a reliable update of this comprehensive botanical reference which was first published in 1895. Readers will find an informative and useful section that lists new and overlooked generic names, while valuable appendix material provides entries for fern and fern allies that were not presented in the original text.

An indispensable reference source for botanists throughout the world, the Index Kewensis and its supplements provide concise and exact references to the names of species of flowering plants together with the names of their authors, the country of origin, and place of publication. The Supplements, published every five years, also record the transference of species from one genus to another in response to changes in taxonomic opinion.
