🌱 Discover the wonders of the plant kingdom with Pl@ntNet! 📸 This amazing app lets you identify plants simply by snapping a photo with your smartphone. No need to be a botanist – Pl@ntNet puts the power of plant identification right in your hands! 🌿
🌳 Pl@ntNet isn't just a plant identifier; it's also a citizen science project! Every plant you photograph contributes to a global effort to understand and preserve plant biodiversity. Scientists around the world use your photos to study plant evolution and protect our planet's flora. 🌍
🌼 Whether you're exploring a forest, strolling through a park, or even just curious about the plants in your backyard, Pl@ntNet can help. It identifies flowering plants, trees, grasses, conifers, ferns, vines, wild salads, cacti, and more! 🌵 It can even recognize many cultivated plants in parks and gardens, though its primary focus is on wild plants. 🌾 Pl@ntNet is especially useful for inventorying wild plants, whether they're in nature, on city sidewalks, or in your vegetable garden! 🥕
🔎 To get the most accurate identification, provide Pl@ntNet with as much visual information as possible. Focus on characteristic organs like flowers, fruits, and leaves. 🌸🍎🍃 Small details like thorns, buds, or stem hair can also be helpful. A photo of the whole plant or tree is useful but often not enough for reliable identification. 🌲
📊 Currently, Pl@ntNet can recognize about 20,000 species, and it's growing every day! Thanks to contributions from experienced users like you, the app is constantly improving. Don't hesitate to contribute your own observations! Your photos could be reviewed by the community and added to the app's photo gallery. 🖼️
⭐ The new version of Pl@ntNet, released in January 2019, includes many exciting improvements: filter species by genus or family, differentiated data revision, re-identification of shared observations, multi-flora identification, favorite flora selection, taxonomic level navigation, observation mapping, and links to helpful factsheets! 🗺️🔗
