The first volumes of Chronica Botanica ( 1935-1937) were published as annual 

 records and reviews of current research, activities and events in the plant sciences. 

 They constitute the first international census of current research in any field of the 

 natural sciences. — Vols. 4-7 (1938-1942) were published as an 'international plant 

 science newsmagazine.' From Vol. 8 ( 1944 ) to the present. Chronica Botanica 

 contains more material than formerly, dealing with the basic humaniora of the plant 

 sciences: history, methodology, and philosophy. 



An annual volume of Chronica Botanica consists of six numbers (3 or more 

 issues ) with memoirs, international directories, reprints of classical papers, Biologia 

 (q.v.), and smaller issues dealing with timely subjects. 



The current volume is Vol. 14 (1950-1951).
