Summary This paper is intended to develop a framework for a more extensive study of the role of the German journal Flora in the development of systematic botany in the nineteenth century. In the first part of the paper, short biographies are given of the editors in the period 1818–1888, with a special section about their relation with Flora. D.H. Hoppe (1760–1846) was editor, and actually publisher as well, from 1818–1842. F.G. Eschweiler (1796–1831) assisted Hoppe as co‐editor from 1827–1829. In 1830 A.E. Fürnrohr (1804–1861) became co‐editor. Fürnrohr succeeded Hoppe as editor in 1843 and served as such until 1861. Like Hoppe, Fürnrohr was actually publisher of Flora as well. After Fürnrohr's sudden death, the zoologist G.A.W. Herrich‐Schäffer (1799–1874) took over the editorship. He was succeeded in 1871 by J. Singer (1834–1901). From its very beginning Flora was published actually or nominally in Regensburg by the Regensburgische Botanische Gesellschaft. The relationship between the journal and the Society came to an end in 1888, when Singer transferred the editorship to K.I.E. von Goebel, who from that date published the journal in Marburg.
