When this flora was first published in 1992 with the name Den Nordiska Floran, it was very successful. No similar book had previously been on the market, it was sold to all Nordic countries and became the flora to own, use and give away to both professionals and the public. Eleven years later, the flora (this time with the name Den Nya Nordiska Floran) was revised and expanded with 800 new species.

Much has happened in the world of botany, which necessitated an update, not least because of recent genetical research on the relationship between different plant families. In addition, the flora is further expanded with a number of new species (including dandelions, irises, willows and alpine species). Nordens Flora contains all known vascular plants in the Nordic region (over 3300 species).
