Note: This app is quite large and could take 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on your wifi speed.

All net proceeds from the sale of this app go to support botanical education, research, and development of plant identification tools.

Utah Plants is not a “wildflower” app. It is one of 26 comprehensive plant identification apps, covering 18 western and central states and 4 SW Canadian provinces. It includes all 3342 vascular plants that grow wild in this area, whether they are native or introduced, and illustrated with over 9600 photos. This means all the weeds, rare plants, flowering plants, ferns, horsetails, conifers, trees, shrubs, forbs, wildflowers, grasses, sedges and rushes, etc. It is very useful for farmers, nature lovers, conservationists, hikers, botanists, students, teachers, wildflower enthusiasts, gardeners, nursery owners, or anyone curious about the natural world.

FEATURES:
Easy, quick identification of unknown plants, using a powerful interactive key, with color photos, descriptive information and lists of references with page numbers for each species.
No need to be frustrated by nature guides that don't include what you want to identify.
Easily portable, with all photos embedded in the app, and no need for any cell tower or wifi.
Built on 23 years of experience creating interactive plant identification software.

HOW IT WORKS:
Select plant characteristics that match the plant to be identified
Select any characteristic in any order, from almost 300 lists of characteristics
Characteristics defined, with detailed scientific illustrations
With each character marked, the list of possible plants shrinks, getting to one species with about 3 to 6 plant characteristics.
The app suggests lists of characters based on ease of use, effectiveness, and remaining species
Confirm identifications by comparing with photos and/or descriptions

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
An interactive glossary of botanical terminology with scientific illustrations.
Access to species data.
Alphabetize the species list by either common or scientific name.
Use a string search for a plant species using common or scientific name.
In-application help is available by tapping Menu > Help, or printing from http://flora-id.org/?page_id=247

This app is a compact but complete, portable version of our comprehensive plant ID software for PCs, and consequently includes a subset of the largest and most extensive database of plant characteristics produced anywhere. We sincerely appreciate the individuals, agencies, and institutions over the years that have graciously allowed us to include their copyrighted plant photos in our programs. Even with over 250 sources of photos, not all are of the highest quality. They are the best available and are included here for the help they provide in obtaining and confirming correct identifications.
