Originally, the chief objective of the Society was “the promotion of international cooperation in the study of, and diffusion of useful knowledge in the fields of Plant Morphology, Anatomy and Embryology, and the doing of all such other acts and things as were incidental of conducive to the attainment of the above object”. However, the scope of the Society was later on extended to other areas of plant sciences of interdisciplinary nature. The Society publishes a journal, PHYTOMORPHOLOGY: An International Journal of Plant Sciences. The journal, which is now running its 66th volume, has done useful service in the dissemination of knowledge in diverse areas of plant sciences such as plant morphology, anatomy, developmental biology, palaeobotany, systematics, pathology physiology, genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology and biotechnology as well as agriculture, medicine and environmental sciences. A golden Jubilee Volume (Vol. 51) of this journal was published by the Society in the year 2002. At present, ISPM has about 250 members on its rolls and 200 institution subscribers. The journal is available with almost all leading Universities , Institutions , FISPM as institutional members, in India and abroad.
