Flora Incognita

What Flora Incognita is

Flora Incognita is a plant identification and citizen science app. The site describes automated plant identification, species profiles and observation records, with free, ad-free and offline support for school and environmental education.

It is field and education software rather than a classroom course tool.

What you can do with it

• Photograph a plant and get an identification
• Read species profiles
• Keep a record of observations
• Take part in citizen science projects

Who it is for

• Students and teachers
• Plant enthusiasts
• Ecology volunteers
• Nature education organisations

What to watch out for

• Identification is affected by angle, flowering stage and region; verify before relying on it
• Research, conservation or foraging decisions need expert confirmation
• Observation records include location data; check what is shared publicly
• Category note: citizen science app, not education technology in the usual sense
