This App will help Identify Plants in their Natural Environment. It is designed for novice and experts alike to help identify plants in your environment. Just choose from drop down boxes to describe the plant and get a list with pictures to help identify the plant. Once you click on the plant you will get valuable information about the plant. It can be used to find herbs or invasive plants or poison plants and is a great beginning to discovering plants, trees, mushrooms and other fungus. The app has a list of 50,000 plants to explore but the drop down menu helps to narrow your search and give you a list of pictures and options. The information page that you are taken to will allow you to see a further search or in some cases, give you a document fact sheet to tell you about the plant you have chosen. The plants in the data base are from all over but mostly in the United States and Canada.
It can tell you if a plant is endangered or invasive, poison or edible or even what soil it is grown in and if it can be transplanted from one area to next.

It is difficult to identify plants in the wild because many can look alike and one maybe poison and one edible so please do not make a decision based on the app without consulting an expert. This app is intended to get you started on your wilderness or backyard exploring on the exciting world of plants and nature. HAVE FUN.
