The International Euphorbia Society (IES) was founded in January 2005. It is dedicated to the furtherance of knowledge of plants of the Euphorbiaceae and of their cultivation. The IES produces the full colour A4 size journal Euphorbia World three times a year, with fully illustrated articles on all aspects of this fascinating plant family, to appeal to beginners as well as specialists. The journal is refereed by well known botanists including Susan Carter Holmes, who is also President. The language is English.
Currently the IES has about 300 members from 30 countries around the world, and articles in the journal also reflect the international cooperation which goes into the publication. The committee members themselves are spread over 4 European countries, so the society from top to bottom is truly international.
Famous quotes containing the word society:
“I don’t see much future for the Americans.... Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
