and Special Papers, which include reviews, critiques and analyses of controversial
subjects.
Individual print subscriptions of the Journal
are available to members of the Botanical Society of America for

First published in the 1960s, and now in its fourth revision, the Careers
in Botany brochure remains one of the most widely used references for people
exploring career opportunities in the plant sciences. This is a small publication
outlining the nature of various career opportunities in the botanical disciplines.
An online version of the brochure is available through the following link "Careers
in Botany" .
One of the exciting aspects in regards to careers in the plant sciences is
the variety opportunities and areas of specialization from which you can choose
(See the "Areas
of Specialization in Botany" page). This diversity allows people with
different backgrounds, aptitudes, and interests to find satisfying careers in
plant biology. More than many other scientific fields, botany continues to provide
opportunities for women as well as men. What could be more rewarding than having
the option to pursue a career in a field you love? Possibly choosing one where
you know your work is making a difference in the world around you. If you are
serious about science, please explore the Careers in Botany

An extensive report from the BSA in the late 1990s on the state of and goals
for the organisation and wider botanical community.
Definitely worth exploring! Carnivory (from the Latin words carnis, flesh,
and vorare, to devour, occurs in at least 9 plant families and 595 species.
Carnivorous plants provide interesting examples of plant morphology, ecology,
evolution, and conservation. Here you'll find general and scientific information,
growing tips, images, further reading, and resources on these fascinating plants.
This is an excellent classroom resource! It is a poster project
revolving around the development of the McIntosh Apple, run by the Education
Committee of the BSA during 2000-2001. It features information on the project,
detailed botanical information on the apple, an
online version of the poster, a form to order it, and more!
