Flora Neotropica is designed to present in monographic form taxonomic accounts of all plants growing spontaneously within the Western Hemisphere tropics. Geographic, ecologic, cytologic, anatomic, morphologic, chemical and economic data will provide complementary information for each contribution. Bibliography, citation of specimens and indexes are intended to facilitate consultation.

Monographs of Flora Neotropica will be issued separately without regard to taxonomic sequence. Each author will be wholly responsible for his own contribution, being restricted only by the general style and form of the work.

Those interested in preparing a monograph for Flora Neotropica must consult the Staff Committee.
