Item type:GenericWork Other, The Bean Bag no. 44(1994-11)Royal Botanic Gardens, KewEditorship of The Bean Bag Terminated at the USDA Agricultural Research Service - In early December 1996, the two senior editors of. The Bean Bag were informed by their Research Leader, US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Systematic Botany and Mycology Laboratory, that they could not longer continue to edit The Bean Bag. The November 1996 issue, number 44, i.e., this issue, was near completion, and they were allowed to finish it. In continuing support of The Bean Bag, The Royal Botanic Gardens (RBG), Kew has offered to take over the editorship on a trial basis but to reduce production annually to one issue in the autumn. Barbara Mackinder will be the editor, and it is to her that enquiries and offerings should be addressed in the first instance (<email>). It is the intention of RBG Kew to continue to offer The Bean Bag in it's current format although Recent Legume Literature will be compiled from The Kew Record (Kew's current awareness list of taxonomic literature). The Directory will be maintained as before, available as it is now in printed form and on the World Wide Web. No other changes are foreseen at this time.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:GenericWork Other, The Bean Bag no. 40(1994-12)Royal Botanic Gardens, KewUSDA Agricultural Research Service transfers distribution of The Bean Bag to Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. - In August, the senior Editor of The Bean Bag was notified that USDA Agricultural Research Service, Systematic Botany and Mycology Laboratory could no longer pay the costs of distributing The Bean Bag. Due to mandated salary increases without additional funding, the Laboratory no longer had sufficient financial resources to carry out its research missions and to fund the distribution of The Bean Bag. Inquiries were made at several major botanical institutions, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has agreed to assume responsibility for future distribution of The Bean Bag. KIRKBRIDE and WIERSEMA will continue to edit The Bean Bag and prepare copy for reproduction. The questionnaires and material for publication in The Bean Bag should continue to be sent to Beltsville. The staff of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew will be responsible for reproducing and distributing The Bean Bag. This issue is distributed in hardcopy to all subscribers listed in the Directory. To receive future issues please make sure that you complete and return the pink form enclosed with this issue, or if you have e-mail please send an electronic message to <email> (Internet). A mechanism is now under development to supply The Bean Bag via e-mail to those subscribers with suitable facilities to receive it. Subscribers will also have electronic access to other information, such as the Directory. Subscribers without e-mail will receive the same standard of service as hitherto if they return the pink form to the Editors, but the Directory will be sent only on request.1 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:GenericWork Other, The Bean Bag no. 36(1992-11)Royal Botanic Gardens, KewFrom the Editors: This is the first issue of the Bean Bag without the participation of Charles R. (Bob) Gunn as co-editor. We thank him very much for 17 years of outstanding service as an editor of the Bean Bag. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Agricultural Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture for their continuing financial support of the Bean Bag. The Bean Bag (BB) is designed to promote communication among research scientists concerned with legume systematics. To achieve this goal the BB is issued in May and November of each year and features six columns: From the Editors, News (meetings, major events, announcements, etc.), Latin American Legume Report, Nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation (new nodulation records). Gleanings, and Recent Legume Literature. Data in the Gleanings column are derived from questionnaire sheets which Readers complete and return. If you have news about legume systematics, send it to us for this column. The Recent Legume Literature column contains published research papers of specific interest to BB Readers. Recent is defined as one year old. We rarely will publish a citation that is more than one year old. Specific interest to BB Readers is defined as research papers of interest to a worldwide group of legume systematic botanists. We encourage BB Readers to send us notices, observations, etc. Diacritical marks can now be placed in the BB. If such marks should be placed in your name, address, publications, etc., please let us know. We are especially interested in correcting our Directory. Electronic copies of the BB and the Directory can be obtained from TAXACOM or through Internet at HUH.HARVARD.EDU.1 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
