BRITISH PTERIDOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Founded in 1891 the BPS continues as a focus for fern enthusiasts. It provides a wide range of information about ferns through the medium of its publications and other literature. It also organises formal talks, informal discussions, field meetings, garden visits, plant exchanges, and a spore exchange scheme. The Society's journals, the Fern Gazette, Pteridologist and Bulletin, are published annually. The Fern Gazette publishes matters chiefly of specialist interest on international pteridology, the Pteridologist, topics of more general appeal, and the Bulletin, Society business and meetings reports. Membership is open to all interested in ferns and fern-allies.
