The California Botanical Society was founded by Willis Linn Jepson in 1915 and
has served a major role in advancing western American botany. Since 1916, the
Society has published the peer-reviewed, scientific journal Madroño,
the leading source of research articles on the natural history of western American
botanical organisms (including those of Mexico, Central America, and South America).
The Society welcomes membership by all interested individuals
worldwide and encourages members to submit manuscripts on original research to
the Editor of Madroño for consideration as publications in the journal.
Articles and notes (in English or Spanish) on ecology, systematics, floristics,
conservation biology, and other areas of organismal botany are routinely published
in Madroño, in addition to noteworthy collections. The Society holds monthly
lectures at U.C. Berkeley during the academic year and sponsors annual or
biennial graduate student meetings and an annual
banquet at various locations in California.
