I am discussing the cover images in Annals of Botany in my first video blog today. Each year, we have a large image in the background, and the three videos in this series will discuss the species in these images, where they were taken and why we used them. I have chosen a species that is particularly interesting to the region where the plant grows, ranging from rarer and threatened species, a crop with disease stress challenges, to a shrub in an important tropical savanna region and a species with cultural importance. In the first of the series, I am showing a range of the inset images used on the covers as well, to feature papers in a particular issue.
