Purpose: The Lotus Newsletter consists of informal communications of research information on Lotus spp. Reports of any phase of research on Lotus breeding, genetics, taxonomy, management, utilization, molecular biology, physiology, etc. are welcome. Your biographic sketches and information about your research objectives, approaches, and progress including titles of your publications are encouraged. Seed requests and news items are accepted.

This is the 30th year of publication for the Lotus Newsletter. Now is the time to consider contributing to the 31st volume of the Lotus Newsletter. Contributions generally are compiled without editing.

1. I prefer MSWord 7.0 files, but you can prepare your contribution using any Windows compatible or Macintosh word processing program. Then you have two options:

a. submit the file on 3.5 " (90 mm) disk accompanied by a printed copy of the contribution. Please identify which program you used. OR

b. submit the file to my e-mail address (beuselinckp@missouri.edu) and send me a hardcopy by FAX to 573-882-1467, or by regular mail.

2. If you have figures, graphics, or photographs in your contribution, please include them when you send the hardcopy.

1. Single space typewritten text on white 8.5" x 11" (21.5 cm x 27.5 cm) paper. Double space between paragraphs and tables. Do not number pages.

2. Leave a minimum of 3/4" (1.9 cm) on the left and bottom of each page.

3. On the first page of each contribution, indicate state or country, title of report, and name(s) of contributor(s).

Many thanks to you who respond to my requests for information about your Lotus research. Your contributions to the Lotus Newsletter help generate a better perspective of the international research and management on the many species of Lotus.

You have successfully accessed the Lotus Newsletter homepage. If you need a hardcopy you can print a copy for yourself or you simply read the volume of your choice without filling your bookshelf. My goal is to work my way back through all the volumes until they are all in electronic format.

From the homepage you should be able to access the current volume or past volumes. The current volume for the year will be a compilation of all Lotus news and articles received between January 1 through December 31.

The internet address for the Lotus Newsletter is: http://www.plantsci.missouri.edu/lnl

The illustration on the cover is of Lotus oblongifolius (Benth.) Greene has again been graciously provided by Ana Arambarri (Argentina) . The Lotus illustration is the 6th in a series of illustrations that started with Volume 23.
