About the journal
Since 1931, Brittonia, assuming the broadest possible definition of the field of systematic botany, has been an important outlet for the publication of original research articles on anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, morphology, paleobotany, phylogenetic systematics, taxonomy, and phytogeography.
Each issue contains articles by the staff of The New York Botanical Garden and outside contributors, book reviews, announcements, and news items.
For over a century, the Index to American Botanical Literature has provided bibliographic data both on books and articles in periodicals. The Index, published initially in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club and subsequently in Brittonia, went to an entirely electronic format in 1999. It can be found at: http://www.nybg.org/bsci/iabl.html
Instructions to Authors
Brittonia contains primary research papers concerned with systematic botany in a broad sense, including fields such as anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, cytology, ecology, morphology, paleobotany, palynology, phylogenetic systematics, and phytogeography.
General Instructions
_____ Type manuscript on 8.5" by 11" (21.5 by 28 cm) (or A4) paper with at least 1" (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Use only letter-quality paper. Use only one side of the paper, do not make double-sided photocopies.
_____ Double-space and use Courier (not a proportional typeface) 10- or 12- point type throughout, including tables, figure legends, and literature cited. Do not justify the right margin.

_____ Newly described taxa should be illustrated, preferably by line drawings.
Title & Abstract
_____ Title is flush left, in upper and lower case letters.
_____ Below title, author(s) name(s) are on one line, flush left. Indicate by superscript number after author's name any current address different from that in abstract and to whom reprint requests should be sent.
_____ Abstract should be concise, but include brief statements about the paper's intent, approach, results, and significance of findings. Abstract should be one paragraph in the following form:
Author抯 last name and initials (Institution, Street, City, State, Postal Code, Country, email address) and Second author's initials and last name (Institution, etc.). Title of paper. Brittonia 00: 000?00. 200X.朤ext of abstract.
Keywords: give up to 6 keywords following abstract.
_____ Optional abstract in a second language should follow in separate paragraph in same format.
Text
_____ Begin on new page.
_____ Main headings are centered in upper and lower case letters and in boldface. Secondary headings are flush left and on a separate line. Tertiary headings are underlined, begin a new paragraph with normal indentation, and are followed by a period, dash, and the paragraph text.
_____ All figures and tables must be cited in the text and must be cited consecutively in numerical order.
_____ Each reference cited in the text must be in the Literature Cited section, and vice versa.
_____ Cite literature in the text as follows:
1. One author: Mori (1991) or (Mori, 1991)
2. Two authors: Mori and Boom (1991) or (Mori & Boom, 1991)
3. More than two authors: Mori et al. (1991) or (Mori et al., 1991)
4. Manuscripts accepted for publication but not yet published: Mori (in press) or (Mori, in press)
5. Unpublished materials: S. Mori (unpubl. data) or (S. Mori, pers. comm.)
6. Within parentheses, use a semicolon to separate different citations (Boom, 1991; Mori, 1991), and cite a series of references in chronological order.
7. Use a, b, c, and so forth, for two or more papers by same author(s) in one year (e.g., Mori, 1990a, 1990b; Boom, 1985b).
_____ Cite authors of all names at rank of species and below where first used in text or all in one table. Refer to Authors of Plant Names (Brummitt & Powell, 1992) for correct abbreviations.
_____ Italicize or underline all scientific names at the generic level or below.
_____ Spell out the genus name the first time it is used in a new paragraph.
_____ Use Index Herbariorum (Regnum Veg. Vol. 120. 1990; http://www.nybg.org/bsci/ih/) abbreviations to designate herbaria. It is not necessary to cite this publication.
_____ Do not use footnotes.
_____ Numbers. Write out one through nine, unless a measurement or in a description. Use comma with more than four digits (1000 but 10,000); 0.5 instead of .5; ??instead of 損ercent.?Use 8?.5 and not 8.0?.5.
_____ Abbreviate units of measurements without a period, e.g., km, mm, ft, mi, and so forth.
_____ Do not underline common abbreviations or Latin words, e.g., stat. nov., nom. nud., ca., s. l., ex, etc.
_____ Terms in biological chemistry should follow: a) the instructions to authors of the Biochemical Journal or the notes given at the beginning of each number of the Journal of Biological Chemistry; b) the IUPAC rules on biological chemistry nomenclature. Where there is any difference in the recommendations, the editors will follow the latest publication.
Taxonomic Treatment
_____ The name of each taxon treated appears flush left on a line by itself. Do not underline or italicize the name. The name is followed by its author(s), e.g., Passiflora linda Panero, sp. nov. (Fig. 1).
_____ For species that are already accepted (i.e., not newly described or combined) the name is followed by an indented paragraph in which the binomial is repeated and is followed, in chronological order, by any homotypic synonyms and citations of the places of publication and ultimately by citation of the type. Parenthetical authors are included.
_____ Use separate, similar, paragraphs for any heterotypic synonyms.
_____Abbreviate bibliographic references in nomenclatural matter according to Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum (or its supplement) or Taxonomic Literature 2.
_____ For new species, cite the type in a separate paragraph following the new species' name.
_____ The protologue must include a diagnosis in Latin and/or short description of essential characters in Latin, not a long translation in Latin of the English description.
_____ It is assumed that authors have examined all types cited. In type citations, indicate the duplicates that you have not seen with "n.v." Do not use "!" for duplicates you have seen. Include initials of collectors of type specimens.
_____ When designating a lectotype (or neotype) in your manuscript, use the following format after the specimen citation: (lectotype, here designated, NY). If citing a lectotype (or neotype) previously designated, use the following format: (lectotype, designated by Mori, 1991: NY) and add this citation to the Literature Cited.
_____ Descriptions of taxa should be parallel, i.e., parts described in the same order and punctuated consistently.
_____ The description of a taxon may be followed by a paragraph titled 揇istribution and Ecology.?
_____ Keys should be dichotomous and indented. Couplets should be numbered, not lettered, and the numbers followed by periods. Authors of taxa are generally not included in keys. Species are not numbered in the key. Be sure that measurements used in the key match those in the description.
_____ Specimens examined are grouped in a separate paragraph beginning with: 揂dditional specimens examined.?For new species do not use 揚aratype.?Citation of all specimens seen by an author is appropriate unless such a list is unduly long and repetitive, in which case 揝elected specimens examined?is used. In revisionary studies, a common widespread taxon should be treated by the citation of selected specimens that document the morphological and geographical ranges of the taxon; Especially useful are specimens treated differently in earlier publications; are most widely accessible in major herbaria; and that are of historical value.
_____ Specimen citation should include: locality, latitude and longitude when available, elevation, collection date, collector (揺t al.?when more than two, collector抯 number, and herbarium(a) of deposit (using abbreviations in Index Herbariorum). Label data such as flower color are better given in descriptions. Translate foreign label data except place names. Countries are cited from north to south; political subdivisions are in alphabetical order within countries; and collectors are in alphabetical order within subdivisions. Initials of collectors are not used in 揂dditional specimens examined?(unless confusion would be caused by two or more collectors with the same last name).
Additional specimens examined: VENEZUELA. Amazonas: Cucurital de Caname, 03?0'N, 67?2'W, 100 m, 30 Apr 1979, Davidse et al. 16977 (MO); R韔 Cunucunuma, 03?7'N, 65?1'W, Apr 1990, Fern醤dez 7825 (NY), 5 Nov 1984, Gu醤chez 3230 (NY).
Note that each country begins a new paragraph; use above example for punctuation after country and state names and between specimens (specimens from the same locality are separated by commas); date sequence; abbreviated compass directions; elevation; and spacing in coordinates.
_____ List of exsiccatae: see Brittonia 46: 295 (1994) for an example.
_____ Papers in disciplines such as anatomy, ethnobotany, cytology, and phytochemistry must cite voucher specimens.
_____ Papers in molecular systematics presenting original data will not be accepted for review unless they include citation of herbarium voucher specimens and their location. DNA, RNA, or protein sequences corresponding to >50 nucleotides and not provided in the text of manuscripts must be archived in an appropriate data bank. The data bank accession numbers for these sequences must be given in the final revised version of the manuscript. Manuscripts lacking such accession numbers will not be published until this information is provided in the manuscript. Long sequences, filling more than two printed pages, will not be published unless the reviewers and Editor-in-Chief agree that publication is necessary. Those wishing to include a long sequence not recommended for publication will be responsible for paying page charges for the space.
Literature Cited
_____ Continue page number sequence.
_____ Verify all entries against sources, especially journal titles, accents, diacritical marks, and spelling in languages other than English.
_____ 揑n press?citations must have been accepted for publication; give name of journal (and volume number if known) or publisher.
_____ Insert a space after each initial of an author's name, following volume numbers, and between the colon following volume number and page numbers.
_____ Abbreviate journal names according to Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum and its supplement. Write book titles in full.
_____ Titles of books are written in lower case except the first word and proper nouns and as required in original language of titles.

Tables
_____Continue page number sequence.
_____Each table must start on a separate page and must be double-spaced. Use legal-size paper if necessary to allow adequate margins. Tables can be printed landscape or portrait. Do not reduce type size of tables. If necessary, continue table on additional pages.
_____Tables can be prepared to be printed 1- or 2-column width; plan accordingly.
_____The title of the table should be centered; and on a separate line above, the word 揟able?with a roman numeral should be centered.
_____Superscripts referring to footnotes should be lowercase letters, not numbers.
_____Footnotes should be placed as separate paragraphs at end of table.
_____Data in tables should match those in text and keys.
_____References cited in tables must be included in the Literature Cited.
Figure Legends
_____Begin a new page; continue page number sequence.
_____All figures (maps, photos, line illustrations) should be in a single sequence, consecutively numbered. Tables are in a separate, consecutively numbered sequence.
_____Double-space the legends and group them according to figure arrangements. Do not use a separate page for each group.
_____Number figures consecutively with arabic numerals.
_____Type legends in paragraph format, e.g.:
Fig. 1. Topobea intricata A. Habitat. B. Representative leaves (abaxial surfaces) from one node. C. Floral peduncle, floral bracts, and young fruiting hypanthium. D. Outer floral bract. E. Inner floral bract. F. Petal. G. Representative stamens, profile view (left) and 3/4 dorsal view (right). H. Seeds. (From the holotype.)
Fig. 3. Oenocarpus circumtextus. a. Habit. b. Inflorescence (Bernal 323, NY).
Fig. 6. Solanum morii. A. Habit. B. Fruit (Pr関ost 32, NY).
Note that case of labels on figure (揳?or 揂? should match that on legend. Italicize collector抯 name and number.
_____The specimen(s) on which the illustrations are based must be noted.
_____Do not include non-alphanumeric symbols (lines, dots, stars, etc.) in legends; label them on the figure itself or refer to them by name in the legend.
Preparation of Illustrations
_____Illustrations should be submitted digitally as TIF or EPS files (any file format that is Adobe Photoshop compatible); illustrations will not be accepted in 搉ative application?file formats (e.g., PageMaker, Quark, Excel, Word, WordPerfect, etc.). Authors will be responsible for charges incurred if files are incorrectly formatted and require additional prepress time. Photographs should be scanned at a resolution of 600 dpi; line art, 1200 dpi. As with analog art, all digital illustrations must be complete, with letters, scale bars, and any other labeling intact; the typesetter will not modify incomplete illustrations.
_____All original artwork MUST be signed; unsigned artwork will be returned to the author. The artist must be cited in the Acknowledgments.
_____Illustrations of a new species should show clearly the characteristics that distinguish it.
_____Reproduction is virtually identical to what is submitted; illustrations will not be enhanced by the printer.
_____For all illustrations, halftones/black-and-white photographs, the electronic files print size should be as close as possible to final published size. If the print size of such files must be altered significantly, reproduction quality cannot be guaranteed.
_____Length of an illustration or plate as published is 8" (203 mm). Allow space in that 8" for the printed caption to appear below the figure.
_____Two widths are possible as published: 1-column is 2.5" (62 mm); full page is 5.5"(138 mm).
_____Plan your figures in such a way that they can be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.
_____When preparing composite illustrations, do not space between the components, and do not combine photographs and line art. Place numbers and/or letters on the illustration itself, not in the margins.
_____Magnifications must be indicated by means of scale bars placed directly on the illustrations. Magnifications in the figure legend are NOT acceptable, and such figures will be returned to the author for scale bars.
_____Label figures by press-on letters or symbols or by other mechanical lettering process. Labels produced on a typewriter, dot matrix, or inkjet are unacceptable.
____Parts of a plate are labeled a, b, c, or A, B, C, etc.
_____Maps should have a border, an indication of latitude and longitude, and should not have an undue amount of unused area. Distributions of several species with non-overlapping ranges can be placed on one map by using different symbols.
______If illustrations cannot be submitted as digital images, send originals, glossy photographs, or high-quality photostats (PMTs), no larger than 8??14 inches, including a 1 inch margin on all sides. All illustrations must have a protective cover and the author(s) name(s) and figure number on the back of each. Freehand, typewriter, dot matrix, or equivalent labeling is not acceptable. Mount composite illustrations on white card-board. Ship all illustrations flat.
Conditions for Publication
All papers submitted to Brittonia are reviewed by 2 or 3 reviewers. Authors may suggest reviewers, but all editorial decisions on review policy are confidential.
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author will receive a form for publication charges. Authors are asked to pay charges, currently $45.00 per page. Although payment of page charges is strongly encouraged, payment is not a condition of acceptance.
Authors will be billed $3.50 per line for any changes in excess of five made on proofs. Authors should make only necessary changes in proof.
Proofs and reprint order forms are sent to authors by the printer. Authors send corrected proofs to the Project Editor and reprint orders to the printers. There are no free reprints.
What and Where to Submit
_____Four copies of manuscript and four copies of illustrations. Copies of half tones must be photographic reproductions, not photocopies.
_____Cover letter should include any special instructions, any change of address during the next several months, any phone, fax, e-mail numbers for the corresponding author. Indicate which author of a multiauthored paper (if not the first) should receive the proofs and bill, if any.
_____Enclose this checklist with items checked.
