Information on Membership and Application

The IAPT was founded in 1950 to carry out projects of interest and concern to systematic botanists which require or profitfrom international cooperation. By 2000, for example, no less than 138 volumes of the series Regnum Vegetabile had been published, including such well-known titles as the numerous editions of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, the Index Nominum Genericorum, Taxonomic Literature (two editions), and Index Herbariorum (pt. 1 and 2). In addition, four issues of the journal TAXON are published each year, the annual volume presently consisting of c. 1000 pages.

IAPT is responsible for the establishment and functioning of inter-Congress nomenclature committees and for the organization and execution of the nomenclature sessions at each International Botanical Congress.

In addition to TAXON and other obvious benefits of membership, current volumes of the Regnum Vegetabile series are available to members at reduced prices. The back covers of the journal carry information on recently published titles and a brochure, obtainable from the IAPT secretariat, lists those volumes still in print.

Membership may be obtained by submitting a printout of the appropriate application form (Student members, all other members), with a cheque for the appropriate amount made payable to the IAPT (It is requested that payments be made in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank. However, facilities are provided to pay in Swiss francs by credit card (please specify below) or to an account in Geneva.) and sent to IAPT Managing office:
