Index to American Botanical Literature
The Index to American Botanical Literature has provided a service to the American botanical community for over a century, published initially in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club and subsequently in Brittonia. Beginning in 1886, when Elizabeth Britton of The New York Botanical Garden was editor, the Index has provided bibliographic data both on books and articles in periodicals. In 1999, the Index went to an entirely electronic format.
Full Description of Index to American Botanical Literature
The Index contains entries dealing with various aspects of extant and fossil American plants and fungi, including systematics and floristics, morphology, and ecology, as well as economic botany and general botany (publications dealing with botanists, herbaria, etc.).
The spectrum of botanical literature
Scientific names have to be published before they are considered valid. Although some early botanical literature - notably Linnaeus’ Species Plantarum (1753) – involved massive syntheses of known and new plant names, or were catalogues of useful plants, nowadays new species names are often published a few at a time in journals, or sometimes in the other types of botanical publications.
