International Euphorbia Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Euphorbia Society (IES) was founded in January 2005. It is dedicated to the furtherance of knowledge of plants of the Euphorbiaceae and of their cultivation. The IES produces the full colour A4 size journal Euphorbia World three times a year, with fully illustrated articles on all aspects of this fascinating plant family, to appeal to beginners as well as specialists. The journal is refereed by well known botanists including Susan Carter Holmes, who is also President. The language is English.

Currently the IES has about 300 members from 30 countries around the world, and articles in the journal also reflect the international cooperation which goes into the publication. The committee members themselves are spread over 4 European countries, so the society from top to bottom is truly international.
