Anniversaries of our journal

Our journal in 2019 celebrates a double anniversary: the publication of 50th volume and the centenary of the beginning of its predecessor — the series “Notulae systematicae ex Herbario Horti botanici Petrololitani” (= “Botanicheskiye materialy Gerbariya Glavnogo Botanicheskogo Sada RSFSR”). “Notulae systematicae…” was founded in 1919 and was published (intermittently) until 1963. Outstanding Russian botanists B. A. Fedtschenko, V. L. Komarov, B. K. Schischkin were its editors. 22 volumes containing 756 articles and notes (plus reference volume) were published. “Novitates systematicae plantarum vascularium” (= “Novosti sistematiki vysshikh rastenii”) became a natural continuation of the “Notulae systematicae…”, the series was edited by I. A. Linczevsky, V. I. Grubov, T. V. Egorova, N. N. Tzvelev. Nowadays, the editorial board seeks to find the place of the journal in the Russian and world system of botanical periodicals, to ensure its inclusion in authoritative international citation systems. Keeping traditions, we strive to more correspond to the modern style of international publications on the vascular plants taxonomy.
