‘Kew Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information’ continues today as the quarterly journal ‘Kew Bulletin’. It began in 1887 with the aim of communicating the latest botanical information of economic importance between the botanists of Kew and the distant parts of the British Empire. It quickly expanded to include reports on plants new to science and horticulture, contributions to the knowledge of the flora of many areas around the world, emerging plant disease information and much more. Biographies of noted people within these fields and a catalogue of the books held in Kew’s library make this a fascinating and valuable reference work.
