Cycad Newsletter
One of the benefits of being a member of TCS
is the quarterly newsletter. In 2001, TCS's Editor, Dr. Bart Schutzman,
revolutionized the Cycad Newsletter into a full-color
publication with a mix of scientific, horticultural, and
expedition-related stories.
In 2010, the TCS Board of Directors voted
to begin publishing original peer-reviewed scientific articles in the
newsletter alongside the more traditional lay articles. The board also
voted to change the name
of the publication from Cycad Newsletter: Publication of the Cycad
Society to Cycad Newsletter: Journal of the Cycad Society and
to establish a Journal Editorial Board to oversee the peer-review
process.
Included in
every issue is a "Cycad Focus" column that
highlights a different species and typically includes
information on the native habitat, horticultural recommendations in different
parts of the country or the world, phenology information, and beautiful color photos.

the "Cycad Focus" column, or an original manuscript for

New Species Descriptions
Cycad Focus
One of the consistent components of
the Cycad Newsletter since the September 2002 issue (Vol. 25, No. 3) has been the "Cycad Focus" column, in which a
different
species of cycad is highlighted in each issue. These columns typically feature
taxonomical, horticultural, phenological, and other information on the
respective 'target' species. The concept of targeting individual species in
detail actually began long before 2002, however, and was first announced in
the May 1981 issue (Vol. 4, No. 2). Originally called
"Portrait of a Species," the first species to be targeted was Bowenia serrulata in
the March 1982 issue (Vol. 5, No. 1). TCS will be making these in-depth
"Portrait of a Species" and "Cycad Focus"
articles available here on our website in an effort to provide quality educational
information on cycads to a broader audience.
