PLANT SCIENCE
in
LATIN AMERICA

A timely series of articles and lists
compiled by the Editors of Chronica Botanica with the aid of many
Authorities in the U.S.A. and Latin American countries.

AT THE present time there is a world-wide
interest in the Vegetation and Natural
Resources of Latin America. An extensive
and up-to-date account concerning the plant
sciences in Latin America seems to the Editors
of Chronica Botanica to be the most appropri-
ate contribution which they can make at pres-
ent to the improvement of international rela-
tions and cooperation in the plant sciences, a
field which, in Latin America, presents many
problems of importance and interest.

The aim of this series of articles is to give
the agronomist, botanist, forester, phytopath-
ologist, etc. (whether he be located in Europe,
North or South America) the information
which he may need when starting work on the
wild or cultivated plants of Latin America. It
is hoped that it may be still more useful for
those who plan to go to Latin America to col-
lect or to conduct research. The series en-
deavors to give basic information both on the
present status of and future possibilities and
needs for research in the chief branches of
pure and applied plant science. In addition to
data in his own field, the specialist will find
much useful and stimulating information on
vegetational and agronomic problems in gen-
eral, on the organization of research, lists of
books that he might consult, names of other
scientists who are working in the territory in
which he is interested and whom he might
profitably contact, etc.

Reprints of this series of articles will be available, bound in buck-
ram and interleaved with white paper, at $4.50. — Order from the
Chronica Botanica Co., Waltham, Mass., its agents or any bookseller.
