Ken (and others who may be mystified):
I cited all details except the price (£3.95) from a personal copy -
received as a fully paid-up (currently until January 2011) 'Premier
Friend' of the Kew Foundation - next to my laptop keyboard. After
morning black coffee, and thus fully awake. What more could I have done?:)
Francis (who was, and still is, accustomed to map cataloguing, citing
references, or bibliography compilation - be they à la British Standards
Institution, IFLA, or MARC, or ‘Chicago Style’).
As is said in legal circles (at least in Olde Englande): “I rest my
case, m’lud”

Is the citation for this article correct? I cannot find a match for the
periodical title, Kew Magazine, and the volume # and year. It seems the
magazine was incorporated into Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1994-1995.
That title continues, but the volume number doesn't match. Kew Scientist
presents an interesting spread on Year of Biodiversity and Kew's
involvement. And there is Kew Bulletin, which has a different article on
the pages, which overlap somewhat with the citation below.
WorldCat doesn't provide anything that seems useful to assist with an
ILL submission.
Anything that can shed light on this would be greatly appreciated.

Although others may be aware of it, perhaps on other discussion lists
during this present International Year of Biodiversity, I have been
remiss in mentioning the following article -
'All mapped out', by Christopher Stocks, in /Kew// magazine/ (Kew,
Surrey : Royal Botanic Gardens, ISSN 0961-4141), Spring 2010, *68*,
22-27 : col. ill.
The intro begins: "Christopher Stocks ['a freelance journalist and
author of /Forgotten Fruits/ (Random House)'] meets Kew's GIS team, who
create an amazing array of high-tech maps, full of comparative
information, to help Kew's botanists locate and conserve endangered
plants around the world[.]"
Special attention is given to Madagascar and a 'prediction map of
/Dypsis decipiens/ [bottle palm] . . . based on the plant's ecological
preferences'
