Flora Incognita

Not knowing what plant you are looking at is the problem Flora Incognita takes on. It is a plant identification app that uses AI to name species from your photos, and it ties each sighting into citizen science research.

The project offers two apps, the Flora Incognita App and the Flora Capture App.

Identification comes with detailed plant profiles covering characteristics, conservation status and distribution, so you get more than a name.

You can save your findings, and those records contribute to scientific research.

Flora Incognita is free and ad-free, which is not common for apps in this space.

An offline mode makes it practical for classrooms and field trips where the signal is poor, and the project positions itself for education as well as casual use.
