Missouri Botanical Garden Press

The Missouri Botanical Garden Press (MBG Press) is the publishing division of the Missouri Botanical Garden, one of the world's leading botanical research institutions. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the Press exists to advance the Garden's mission to "discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment" by providing an outlet for the dissemination of botanical research. It publishes two peer-reviewed scientific journals—Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden and Novon, A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature—both devoted to plant systematics, evolution, and botanical nomenclature. These journals draw contributing authors from the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australasia, reflecting the Garden's global research reach. Beyond its journals, MBG Press publishes book-length titles and monographs, primarily in plant systematics and evolution. Its catalog spans categories such as Monographs in Systematic Botany, Flora Series, Botany by Region, Field Guides, Botanical History and Biographies, Educational Titles, Ethnobotany, Ecology and Environmental Science, Bryophytes, Icones, and Orchid Taxonomy. The Press also offers botanical prints and notecards, and titles of broader public interest, including The Garden in 100 Objects, Missouri Botanical Garden Climatron: A Celebration of 50 Years, Pere Marquette State Park: An Unofficial Guide, Gardening is a Verb, and Ireland's Generous Nature. As part of the Missouri Botanical Garden, MBG Press operates as a non-profit scholarly publisher rather than a commercial trade house. Its output serves botanists, taxonomists, ecologists, and horticulturists worldwide, and its journals are standard references in plant systematics. The Press maintains an online store at mbgpress.org where its books, journals, and botanical stationery are sold.

The Missouri Botanical Garden Press is the publishing arm of the Missouri Botanical Garden, a botanical research and conservation institution founded in St. Louis in 1859 by Henry Shaw. The Garden has a long tradition of botanical publication, and its Press was established to formalize and expand that work. The Press publishes two peer-reviewed journals: Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, which covers plant systematics and evolution, and Novon, A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature, which focuses on nomenclature. Both journals have international contributing authors from the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australasia. Over time, the Press expanded its catalog beyond journals to include book-length titles and monographs, primarily in plant systematics and evolution. Its book categories include Monographs in Systematic Botany, Flora Series, Botany by Region, Field Guides, Botanical History and Biographies, Educational Titles, Ethnobotany, Ecology and Environmental Science, Bryophytes, Icones, and Orchid Taxonomy. The Press also sells botanical prints and notecards. Featured titles have included The Garden in 100 Objects: From the Iconic to the Rare at the Missouri Botanical Garden, Missouri Botanical Garden Climatron: A Celebration of 50 Years, Pere Marquette State Park: An Unofficial Guide to History, Natural History, Trails, and Drives, Gardening is a Verb: Cultivating Spaces That Nourish Heart and Soul, and Ireland's Generous Nature: The Past and Present Uses of Wild Plants in Ireland. The Press operates an online store at mbgpress.org.
