Curtis's Botanical Magazine (CBM)
Journal Descriptions
Curtis’s Botanical Magazine stands as the world’s longest continually published botanical periodical, first issued in 1787. It has provided botanists, horticulturists, plant ecologists, and enthusiasts with authoritative, richly illustrated plant descriptions for more than two centuries. The journal uniquely combines rigorous scientific description with high‑quality botanical art, often featuring original colour plates that depict plant morphology with exceptional precision and beauty. Originally hand‑coloured engravings were the hallmark of the magazine; today it continues the tradition of detailed visual representation in modern printed and online formats. Articles in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine include taxonomic descriptions of new plant species, horticultural insights, ecological and conservation discussions, historical botanical perspectives, and notes on plant uses. Many species were first published and scientifically described within its pages, making the journal a crucial resource for botanical nomenclature and plant systematics. As a quarterly publication managed for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and published through Wiley, the journal bridges scientific scholarship and practical horticulture, appealing to professional researchers and serious gardeners alike. Its longstanding legacy, rigorous peer‑review standards, and commitment to advancing plant science make it a highly respected title within botanical literature.
