The Torrey Botanical Society was founded in 1867, and is the oldest botanical society in the Americas.
The objectives of the Society are “to promote interest in botany, and to collect and disseminate information on all phases of plant science.”
These objectives are fulfilled through meetings, field trips, public lectures, publications, funding of graduate research and education, and sponsorship of symposia and regional conferences.
The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society is a peer-reviewed academic journal published quarterly that accepts submissions from all areas of botany focused on the Western Hemisphere.
