Flora Obscura is a series of short articles highlighting extraordinary plant biology.
These articles offer insights into the biology of unusual plants (for example, parasitic or carnivorous plants and those with bizarre life histories or reproductive strategies) and their interactions (with other plants, animals or fungi, for example). Flora Obscura articles are written in a way that is engaging to a wide readership, and should include compelling images. They are normally presented as short commentaries or mini-reviews, however short research articles will also be considered.
