In 2002, the journal was published by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation with Prof. Dr. Thawatchai Santisuk as editor, supported by editorial board members from several prominent herbaria in Europe. At present, the TFB (Botany) is published by the Forest Herbarium in Bangkok, with Dr. Tim Utteridge and Ms Nannapat Pattharahirantricin as editors. The journal is published once a year, usually January with the manuscript no submission deadline, and articles are published in English. All manuscripts are peer reviewed by international scientists and edited by native English language speakers on the editorial board before acceptance and publication. TFB (Botany) will become both printed and electronic journal starting with volume 44 (2016), and through the TFB (Botany) Archive, every article published since 1954 is available and completely searchable online.</p> <p>ISSN : 0495-3843 (print), 2465-423x (electronic)</p> https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ThaiForestBulletin/article/view/260437 Taxonomic notes on the genus Hymenopyramis (Lamiaceae) in Thailand with one new species, four lectotypifications and two new synonyms 2023-12-09T19:49:24+07:00 Bhanubong Bongcheewin bhanubong.boc@mahidol.edu Alan Paton a.paton@kew.org <p><em>Hymenopyramis sabuletorum</em>, a new species from the sandstone plateau in Pha Taem National Park, Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand is described and illustrated.
