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.

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.
