The Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, published quarterly since 1914, contains peer-reviewed papers primarily devoted to systematic botany and evolution. The Annals reflect the global mission of the Garden, with contributing authors from the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australasia.
This special, themed issue of the Annals includes twelve articles about Takhtajania perrieri and its incredible rediscovery in Madagascar.
