Dates and Places	Registered as a company in 1903
Biography	Producers of the ANNALS OF BOTANY plant journal, which was first published in 1887. Became a registered company in 1903. Botanist Isaac Bayley Balfour was appointed Chairman in 1903 and led the company until 1912. Dukinfield Henry Scott followed him as Chairman. He had served as Vice-Chairman of the company since 1903 and remained in post until his death in 1934. The loss of the founding members of the journal led to a period of change. The journal re-started as a new series in 1937, in response to increased competition from younger journals. Between 1887 and 1978 the journal was issued at irregular intervals, dependent on the supply of suitable articles for inclusion. The journal has been published monthly since 1979. Oxford University Press publish the journal on behalf of the company. In 2009, the Company launched a second title AoB PLANTS, an online-only, open-access plant biology journal
