Note to Contributors
It would greatly reduce the work of the Honorary Editor if the following rules are kept in mind' by contributors : —
All matter for the printer should be typed and on one side of the paper only. The name of a genus should begin with a capital letter, but that of the species only when it is adapted from a proper name (Vienna Rules). No comma should be put in after the specific name and before that of the founder of the species. The Editor will see to the type but the writer may, if the likes, indicate it on the following lines. The name of a plant at the opening of a paragraph or when it is desired to direct special emphasis to it may be under- lined wavy (Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 18:10, 15 June 2018 (UTC)) for printing in antique type, with the founder's initial or name underlined plain (-----) for italics ; thus Acalypha indica L. If in the middle of a paragraph the name should be underlined plain, but the founder's initial not, thus Acalypha indica Linn.
Abstracts of papers in other Journals should begin with the author's name and initial, followed by the title of his paper and where it is published : the abstract itself beginning a new line. (See the abstracts in this number).
A reasonable number of reprints of original papers will be supplied if asked for at the time the contribution is sent in, by indicating the number required on the copy itself.
