林奈學(xué)會(huì)的植物學(xué)雜志發(fā)表了關(guān)于系統(tǒng)和進(jìn)化植物學(xué)的原始論文，并對(duì)現(xiàn)存和化石植物進(jìn)行了比較研究。綜述性論文也受到歡迎，這些論文將細(xì)胞學(xué)、形態(tài)發(fā)生、孢粉學(xué)和植物化學(xué)等領(lǐng)域納入一個(gè)分類框架。該雜志將只在特殊情況下或作為較大的專題或系統(tǒng)發(fā)育修訂的一部分發(fā)表新的分類群。

The Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society publishes original papers on systematic and evolutionary botany and comparative studies of both living and fossil plants. Review papers are also welcomed which integrate fields such as cytology, morphogenesis, palynology and phytochemistry into a taxonomic framework. The Journal will only publish new taxa in exceptional circumstances or as part of larger monographic or phylogenetic revisions.
