About the journal
Articles are obtained primarily by invitation, but unsolicited manuscripts are also
considered. All manuscripts are subject to critical review before acceptance, but it
is to be expected that most solicited manuscripts will, in fact, be acceptable. In all
cases, the Editors reserve the right to accept, reject or suggest revisions in submitted
material. Instructions to contributors appear in issue 1 of the current volume. Copies
may be obtained from the Editor.
Articles submitted for publication as well as any editorial questions should be addressed
to: The Editor, The Botanical Review, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126, USA.
The function of The Botanical Review is to present syntheses of the state of knowledge and
understanding of individual segments of botany. It is to be hoped that these syntheses can
be read and understood by other botanists less well informed than the authors. Photographs,
electron micrographs, and drawings may be included as necessary. Enough papers should be
cited to document the information and interpretation presented, to help the reader learn
how we arrived at the present state of understanding, and to demonstrate that the author
is thoroughly familiar with the literature in his or her field. New information can and
sometimes should be incorporated into the articles, but The Botanical Review is not the
place for articles primarily concerned with presenting a limited set of new data.
Instructions to Authors
These guidelines are intended to increase the uniformity of manuscripts and
will speed the editorial and review process. Authors are encouraged to
contact the Editor (THE BOTANICAL REVIEW,
The New York Botanical Garden Press, Bronx, NY 10458-5126, USA) whenever a
contribution has some special requirement that is not discussed in the
following guidelines.
GENERAL:
Manuscripts must be received in final form, fully revised and checked for
typographical and other errors.
1. Submit your manuscript assembled in the following sequence:
First page.-Title, author(s), addresses), running head.
Table of Contents.-Begin on new page. Capitalize all proper nouns.
Do not include page numbers. Make sure headings agree exactly with
headings in text. Primary headings are preceded by a roman numeral,
secondary headings with a capital letter, tertiary headings with an
arabic numeral, and quaternary headings with a lowercase letter.
bstract.-Begin on new page. Authors must provide abstract in
English and are urged to provide a translation into at least one other
appropriate language (e.g., German, French, Spanish, or Russian).
Text.-Begin on new page. See guidelines below.
Acknowledgments.-Summarize briefly under a separate heading at end of text.
Literature Cited.-Begin on new page. See guidelines below.
Appendix.-If present, begin on new page.
Legends.-Begin on new page. See guidelines below.
Text footnotes.-Begin on new page. See guidelines below.
Tables.-Each on a separate page. See guidelines below.
Appendix tables.-If present, begin on new page.
Illustrations.-See guidelines below.
2. All tables and illustrations must be cited in numerical sequence in
the text.
3. Type last name(s) of author(s) and page number on upper right-hand
corner of every page of the manuscript.
4. Double-space throughout every part of the entire manuscript. Leave
at least a 2.5 cm margin on all sides. Do not staple pages together.
5. Submit one copy of the article plus the original manuscript. The second
set of illustrations need not be in a form suitable for reproduction.
6. Copyright: Request and obtain written authorization from the publisher
and/or author to use materials (e.g., tables, graphs, illustrations,
etc.) from previously published sources. Send the original authorizations
along with your manuscript.
7. Word Processors: If possible, use a word processor for the preparation
of your manuscript. Do not justify the right-hand margin, as this may
lead to errors. If possible, suspend hyphenation. Use regular Courier
type, not a proportionally spaced font. Be sure to include a floppy disk
(3?or 5? containing the text, tables, legends, etc. Files compatible
with IBM are preferred, but we will accept Macintosh disks when necessary.
8. Do not abbreviate seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years.
9. All unclaimed manuscripts will be discarded one month after date of
issue. Original illustrations will be returned to authors.
TEXT FOOTNOTES:
We discourage the use of footnotes; much of this material can be worked into
the text. If you must use them, keep them to a minimum and follow these
instructions:
1. Type footnotes in paragraph form (all on one page) consecutively.
Begin on new page.
2. Number text footnotes using arabic numerals (for table footnotes,
see below).
3. Indicate in the text margin where the footnote is cited.
TEXT:
1. All headings should be centered. Primary headings should be preceded
by a roman numeral, secondary headings with a capital letter, tertiary
headings with an arabic numeral, and quaternary headings with a
lowercase letter.
2. Each figure and table must be cited in correct numerical sequence in the text.
3. Each item listed in the Literature Cited must be cited in the text and vice versa.
Citations in the text must match those in the Literature Cited (dates and
spellings) and vice versa. Check for spellings and dates, as well as for
diacritical marks in foreign-language citations.
4. Underline generic and specific names only (and do not use italics).
5. Do not use a period after abbreviations for units of measure (e.g., mm,
km, m, etc.).
6. Examples of literature cited in the text:
For 2 authors: Orndorff and Lang (1981) or (Orndorff & Lang, 1981).
For 3 or more authors: name only the first author followed by et al. Thus,
Nixon et al. (1994) or (Nixon et al., 1994). All authors' names should
appear in the Literature Cited.
Several different papers within a citation: Arrange in alphabetical order or
chronological order consistently throughout the paper. Thus, (Baetke et al.,
1978; Levin, 1965a, 1965b, 1965c, 1967; McHale & Alston, 1955) or (McHale &
Alston, 1955; Levin, 1965a, 1965b, 1965c, 1967; Baetke et al., 1978). Use
a and b for two or more papers published by the same author(s) in the same
year.
In press: Tretyn (In press) or (Tretyn, in press).
Unpublished research and personal communications may be cited in the text
but not in the Literature Cited. Thus, (P. Endress, unpubl.) or (P. Endress,
pers. comm.),
LITERATURE CITED:
1. List entries in alphabetical order by first author, then second author.
Entries for works by 3 or more authors are placed after the 2-author
works by the same first author. If there are two or more works cited
by the same author(s) (names in the same order), arrange chronologically.
2. Use long dash for repeated author(s) (see sample below).
3. Journal citations should be abbreviated according to Botanico-Periodicum-
Huntianum.
4. Underline generic and specific names only (and do not use italics).
5. Citations designated as "in press" must have been accepted for
publication, and the name of the journal or press given. They are
listed as "in press" until actually published.
6. There should be a period and a space after each initial in an author's name.

TABLES:

Descriptive title of plate followed by individual figure titles, as
3: Seeds of Ericaceae. 4: Calyx of Cavendishia (bar = 1 mm).
3. Size should be indicated by a bar in the illustration. Because of the
possibility of reducing illustrations, actual numbers for magnifications
are discouraged but allowed if necessary.
