A professional could probably answer this easily, but a quick look at
ISI JSR (which determines the "impact factors" of scientific journals,
basically by the frequency of cited articles) shows that Taxon has the
highest factor (2.524) of any journal devoted specifically to
systematics. Systematic Botany (NYBG) is 1.632; Botanical Journal of the
Linnean Society is 1.075. They don't cover Bot. Jb. fur Systematik.
The Annual Review of Plant Biology has the highest impact factor in the
plant sciences, at 18.712, but all the rest are below 10. Nature, by
contrast, is 28.751.
