Annals of Botany is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing experimental, theoretical and applied papers on all aspects of plant biology.

It is published monthly through Oxford University Press in paper form and online, and is paid for primarily by institutional annual subscriptions.

The journal does not levy page charges but authors may choose to pay a standard fee to secure open access status for their papers.

An extensive collection of letters, minutes and accounts covering the first 125 years of the Journal's existence has been archived as the Annals of Botany Papers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
