Visitors, welcome to the Botanical Society of America web site!
The Society was founded in 1893. We represent professional botanists,
plant scientists, educators, students and amateur plant science
enthusiasts around the world. Our primary purpose is to promote
botany, the field of basic science dealing with the study
and inquiry into the form, function, development, diversity,
reproduction, evolution, and uses of plants and their interactions
within the biosphere.
New Professional Development Opportunities for
High School Science Teachers! We invite you
to apply for two NSF-funded Summer Institutes. For more details
go to our outreach initiatives. We
also suggest you take some time to explore our website.

Albert Einstein once said, "We can't solve problems
by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created
them." Your right, he wasn't a famous botanist,
but his thinking is right on. More than ever, the world needs
creative minds going into the plant sciences... Explore career
options in the plant sciences through the Careers
in Botany section and visit “BOTANY”
- science from the students' perspective to find out more
about the fascinating world of botany.
