Tae Jougnat or Borany was established in 1863 by Dr. Seemann. 
In 1872 the editorship was assumed by Dr. Henry Trimen, who, 
assisted ve part of the time by Mr. J. G. Baker and Mr. Spencer 
oore, carried it on until the end of 1879, when he left England for 
Ce bylon- Sins’ then it has been in the hands of the present Editor. 
ithout professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the 
Ftesal has from its inception filled a position which, even now, is 
covered by no other periodical. It affords a ready and prompt medium 
for the publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly and 
punctually on the 1st of each month. While more especially concerned 
with systematic botany, observations of every kind are welcomed. 
Especial prominence has from the first been given to British botany, 
and it may safely be said that nothing = primary importance bearing 
at this subject has remained unnotic 2 
ibliographical matters have also sedaivea and continue to receive 
considerable attention, and the history of many obscure Lauer 
has been elucidated. Every number contains reviews and 
important books written by competent critics: in this as in tee cee 
respect a strictly independent ae has been maintained. While in 
no way officially connected with the Department of Botany of the 
“British Museum, the Journal has from the first been ecoritrolled by 
them to utilize its pages for recording facts of interest and importance 
regarding the priceless botanical solleationi which the Museum contains. 
In 1896 it became necessary to increase the size of the Journal, owing 
to the number of papers sent for publication: the number of plates 
was at the same time augmented.
