期刊介绍:
Candollea is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original scientific papers, preferably in English but also in French. Spanish language manuscripts will be evaluated only if linked to scientific projects involving the Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de Genève. Successful submissions will be in the fields of evolution, molecular systematics, morphology-anatomy, nomenclature, taxonomy, or vegetation analyses of plants. Reviews and articles on the history of botanical collections are welcome. New distribution records lacking pertinent analyses will not be considered. Manuscripts dealing with nomenclature alone will be considered only if clearly related to the Geneva library or herbarium (G). Authors are encouraged to deposit duplicates of their material, especially nomenclatural types, at G.
