Revista Brasileira de Botanica

Aims & Scope

The Brazilian Journal of Botany is an international journal devoted to publishing a wide-range of research in plant sciences: biogeography, cytogenetics, ecology, economic botany, physiology and biochemistry, morphology and anatomy, molecular biology and diversity phycology, mycology, palynology, and systematics and phylogeny.

The journal considers for publications original articles, short communications, reviews, and letters to the editor.

Manuscripts describing new taxa based on morphological data only are suitable for submission; however information from multiple sources, such as ultrastructure, phytochemistry and molecular evidence are desirable.

Floristic inventories and checklists should include new and relevant information on other aspects, such as conservation strategies and biogeographic patterns.

The journal does not consider for publication submissions dealing exclusively with methods and protocols (including micropropagation) and biological activity of extracts with no detailed chemical analysis.
