The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) is for everyone who
is interested in the flora of Britain and Ireland. The society traces
its origins back to 1836, when it was founded as the Botanical Society
of London. From its earliest days it has welcomed both professional
and amateur members, and it remains the biggest and most active
organisation devoted to the study of botany in the British Isles.
The BSBI produces national Atlases and county Floras of the
distribution of plants. It publishes a scientific journal, Watsonia,
and holds conferences on botany.
