21 April 2022
In this issue Ivan Hoste sets the stage with François Crépin's impassioned plea for the rights of the original author of a species and then takes us to the 1867 International Botanical Congress in Paris where phytographers and systematists face off over author citations. Michael Calonje, Alan W. Meerow and Javier Francisco-Ortega document the magnificent cycads David Fairchild encountered during his travels and establish their current status. R. B. Williams explores the publishing history of William Allport Leighton's A Flora of Shropshire, dating the parts and consolidated volume, adding a bibliographical description and giving a scientific appraisal. If you're ready to take us on a new adventure in the pages of our journal of botanical history, check out the topics and submission guidelines available on the Huntia page.
