PlantSnap

PlantSnap is designed to help users identify over 600,000 types of plants, including flowers, trees, and fungi. The app allows users to take a photo of a plant, which it then analyzes using its database to provide possible matches. It also indicates whether or not the plant is healthy, and suggests methods for making the plant healthy once more. Finally, it offers gardening tips and connects users with a community of nature enthusiasts.

Leafsnap is a series of electronic field guides being developed by researchers from Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institution. The free mobile apps use visual recognition software to help identify tree species from photographs of their leaves. They contain beautiful high-resolution images of leaves, flowers, fruits, petioles, seeds and bark.

The original Leafsnap currently includes trees found in the Northeastern United States and Canada, and will soon grow to include the trees of the entire continental United States. The high-resolution images in the original app were created by the conservation organization. Finding Species.

This website shows the tree species included in Leafsnap, the collections of its users, and the team of research volunteers working to produce it.
