Vorrangiges Ziel der Gesellschaft zur Erforschung der Flora Deutschlands ist die Förderung der floristisch-botanischen Erforschung der Gefäßpflanzen Deutschlands. Ein Schwerpunkt soll auf Taxonomie und Systematik liegen, wobei unter anderem eine Wiederbelebung der hierzulande vernachlässigten Teildisziplinen Karyologie und Autökologie wichtig wäre. Nomenklatorische, chorologische und historische Studien sollen ebenfalls unterstützt werden. Ausdrücklich gefördert werden sollen das wissenschaftliche Herbarisieren und die Auswertung öffentlicher Herbarien, deren Existenzberechtigung mancherorts wegen mangelnder Benutzung in Frage gestellt wird. ...
