AIPC Magazine is a quarterly Italian-language periodical and the official publication of Associazione Italiana Piante Carnivore (AIPC), a carnivorous plant society based in Italy.[1][2] Typical articles include matters of horticultural interest, field reports, and plant descriptions. The periodical was established as AIPC News by Marcello Catalano in January 1998,[3] at a time when the newly founded AIPC had only around 30 members.[4]
AIPC News underwent a number of format changes in its early years. In its first two volumes (1998–1999), it was printed in A4 format and consisted of a colour cover and black and white body.[3] Volumes 3 through 6 (2000–2003) were printed in the smaller A5 format and included a colour cover and insert, the rest being in black and white.[3] From volume 7 in 2004 the magazine began printing in full colour on glossy A5 paper, and was renamed to AIPC Magazine.[3][2] The magazine was released in annual volumes until 2006, when it adopted continuous issue numbering starting with a new issue 1 (March 2006).[2] On January 1, 2006, it was registered as the society's official magazine.[2]
Three special monographic issues have been released: issue 7 (September 2007), on the Drosera petiolaris complex; issue 14 (June 2009), on Mexican Pinguicula; and issue 18 (June 2010), on the tepuis and Gran Sabana of Venezuela.[2] All three of these monographs have been released in English on CD.[5]
