Herbarium News (18 Oct 2002)

New online publication honors first curator

We are pleased to announce the release of a new online botanical publication – Vulpia, Contributions from the NC State University Herbarium – named in honor of the late Dr. William Basil Fox (1915-1952), first curator of NCSC [fox: latin  vulpes].  

Not wishing to duplicate existing journal coverage, Vulpia seeks to provide useful scientific information often not published in existing journals for lack of resources or space – such as botanical keys to native and cultivated plants, detailed nomenclatural notes, discussions of synonymy and typification, floristic notes, and lengthy exsiccatae.  We hope to serve a broad audience, including professional botanists and amateur plant enthusiasts alike.  Manuscripts will be reviewed by the editorial board.  Contributors need not be associated with North Carolina State University.

Subscriptions are free for the time being and will be managed through a list-serve.  Persons subscribing to the publication will receive notification of new papers as they are released and a complete table of contents of the year’s volume at the end of the calendar year.

Volume 1 and subscription information can be found at:
