《植物志》是世界上连续出版时间最长的科学植物杂志(自1818年以来)。发表植物结构(形态学和解剖学)、植物发育生物学(个体发育)、植物地理学(包括系统地理学)、植物种群遗传学、植物功能生态学(包括生态生理学)、植物种群生态学、植物与其他生物的生物相互作用、植物群落生态学和生态系统生态学等方面的原创文章和评论文章。欢迎对特刊提出建议，也欢迎对某一专题的特稿(原文和评论文章)进行汇编。非常欢迎关于下列主题的手稿，特别是当它们结合了各个领域或研究方法时:形态、解剖和发育的比较和进化方面，植物物种与其分布有关的生态生理学，植物群落的生态相互作用机制(如植物-植物相互作用、植物-土壤反馈和植物-动物相互作用)，生殖生态学，包括植物-传粉者相互作用，植物种群的遗传和空间结构，植物群落的功能多样性。只有当专注于植物区系或植被研究的手稿超越纯粹的描述性方法，并与解释植物结构、分布或生态学有关时，才会予以考虑。内容限于分类学、系统学、命名法、地球植物学或应用农业、园艺学、药理学或造林学方面的地方兴趣的手稿，或只涉及细胞或亚细胞水平调查的实验研究，将不予考虑出版。
FLORA, the scientific botanical journal with the longest uninterrupted publication sequence (since 1818), considers manuscripts in a range of areas of botany which appeal to a broad international scientific readership. The journal publishes original contributions and review articles on plant structure (morphology and anatomy), plant developmental biology (ontogeny), phytogeography (including phylogeography), plant population genetics, plant functional ecology (including ecophysiology), plant population ecology, biotic interactions between plants and other organisms, plant community ecology, and ecosystem ecology. Suggestions for Special Issues are welcome, as are compilations of manuscripts (both original and review articles) for Special Features on a specific topic.Manuscripts on the following subjects are highly welcome, especially when they integrate between areas or research approaches: comparative and evolutionary aspects of morphology, anatomy and development, ecophysiology of plant species related to their distribution, mechanisms of ecological interactions in plant communities (e.g. plant-plant interactions, plant-soil feedback, and plant-animal interactions), reproductive ecology including plant-pollinator interactions, genetic and spatial structure of plant populations, and functional diversity in plant communities. Manuscripts focused on floristics or vegetation studies will only be considered if they go beyond a purely descriptive approach and have relevance for interpreting plant structure, distribution or ecology. Manuscripts whose content is restricted to taxonomy, phylogeny, nomenclature, or geobotanical or applied agricultural, horticultural, pharmacological or silvicultural aspects of local interest, or experimental studies dealing exclusively with investigations at the cellular or subcellular level will not be considered for publication.
