Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae logo symbolizes journal activity. It compares new results of research published continuously by the journal to the lateral organ primordia formation by the shoot apical meristem during its indeterminate growth. Not unlike the content of the journal the primordia layout is unique. Claimed to be impossible is in fact exclusive. Its presence was lately confirmed by empirical data and results of computer simulations.
