Botanical Society of the British Isles

Summary Organisation also known as BSBI.

Founded in 1836, the society has played a central role in the botanical community for 160 years. They offer members, whether beginners or seasoned professionals, services and a forum for the exchange of ideas and information.

The aim of the BSBI is to gain a better understanding of British and Irish plants and their distribution, and to use this knowledge to help in their conservation.

There are three issues of the newsletter and typically two issues of the scientific journal Watsonia every year.

The BSBI maintains a database on British plants at the University of Leicester.

Publications:
Watsonia;
BSBI Abstracts;
