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'
