The IAPT was founded in 1950 to carry out projects of interest and concern to systematic botanists which require or profit from international cooperation. By 1997, for example, no less than 134 volumes of the series Regnum Vegetabile had been published, including such well-known titles as the numerous editions of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, the Index Nominum Genericorum, Taxonomic Literature (two editions), and Index Herbariorum (pt. 1 and 2). In addition, four issues of the journal Taxon are published each year, the annual volume presently consisting of c. 1000 pages.
IAPT is responsible for the establishment and functioning of inter-Congress nomenclature committees and for the organization and execution of the nomenclature sessions at each International Botanical Congress.
In addition to Taxon and other obvious benefits of membership, current volumes of the Regnum Vegetabile series are available to members at reduced prices. The back covers of the journal carry information on recently published titles and a brochure, obtainable from the IAPT secretariat, lists those volumes still in print.
