The Bean Bag

A newsletter to promote communication among research scientists concerned with the systematics of the Leguminosae/Fabaceae

Number 45November 1997

From the Editor

Barbara Mackinder

The Bean Bag is designed to promote communication among research scientists concerned with legume systematics. To achieve this goal The Bean Bag is issued in November of each year and features six columns:

Data in the Gleanings column are derived from questionnaire sheets which Readers complete and return. If you have news about legume systematics, send it to me for this column. The Recent Legume Literature column contains published research papers of specific interest to Bean Bag Readers and is derived from Readers contributions in conjunction with references from The Kew Record (Kew's current awareness list of taxonomic literature). Recent is defined as up to 18 months old. Specific interest to Bean Bag Readers is defined as research papers of interest to a worldwide group of legume systematic botanists. We encourage Bean Bag Readers to send us notices, observations, etc.

The Bean Bag and the Directory can now be delivered to Readers via e-mail. If you wish to have your copies e-mailed to you, please send the following standard e-mail message
