自1931年以來(lái)，布里托尼亞一直是解剖學(xué)、植物學(xué)史、化學(xué)分類學(xué)、形態(tài)學(xué)、古植物學(xué)、系統(tǒng)發(fā)生系統(tǒng)學(xué)、分類學(xué)和植物地理學(xué)等原始研究論文的重要發(fā)表地。每一期都包含紐約植物園的工作人員和外部貢獻(xiàn)者的文章、書評(píng)和公告。

Since 1931, Brittonia, assuming the broadest possible definition of the field of systematic botany, has been an important outlet for the publication of original research articles on anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, morphology, paleobotany, phylogenetic systematics, taxonomy, and phytogeography. Each issue contains articles by the staff of The New York Botanical Garden and outside contributors, book reviews, and announcements.
