Arnaldoa
The journal Arnaldoa is
published by the Herbario Antenor Orrego (HAO) in the Museo de Historia Natural
of the Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego (UPAO), Trujillo, Peru. The publication
was founded by Dr. Abundio Sagástegui Alva, former Director of the Museo and founder
of the HAO Herbarium. The journal's name commerates the striking northern Peruvian
genus Arnaldoa (sunflower or Asteraceae family), pictured to the
left, and honors the distinguished botanist for which the plant was originally
named, Dr. Arnaldo López Miranda, Emeritis Professor at the Universidad
Nacional de La Libertad. Dr. López passed away in Trujillo, 8 May 2010.
The first number was published in
June 1991 and was originally initiated as an outlet for publishing new flowering
plant species, floristic inventories and research results from botanical investigations
in Andean South America, especially Peru. The journal continues to focuses on
these topics, but has expanded to include articles from a wide variety of scientific
disciplines, including algology, biodiversity studies, conservation, plant ecology,
plant phytochemistry, plant physiology, amongst others. Volume one (1) contained
four (4) numbers and all subsequent volumns contain two (2) numbers each.

Fieldiana: Botany
Fieldiana is published
by The Field Museum in four series: Anthropology, Botany,
Geology, and Zoology. The Flora of Peru
Series was initiated in Fieldiana in 1936 and has resulted in published
treatments for over 75% of the Peruvian flora in volumes numbering nearly 9,500
pages. Most spermatophyte family treatments were contributed by J. Francis Macbride
in Volume 13, with a series of parts and numbers. The exceptions to this in the
Spermatophytes are the families Orchidaceae in Volumes 30 and 33 and the Asteraceae,
published by tribe in the New Series. The index for Spermatophytes was adapted
from that by Douglas C. Daly, [Brittonia 32(4): 1980, pp. 548-550]. Family
treatments for Peruvian Pteridophytes were published in Fieldiana: Botany
by Rolla M. Tryon and Robert G. Stolze (Volumes 20, 22, 27, 29, 32, and 34). Indices
are provided to assist in locating the Flora of Peru volume for
a particular family or, in the case of the Pteridophytes, genera of plants.
