Flora Incognita

Flora Incognita is an AI-powered plant identification project that connects everyday nature exploration with real citizen science. With the Flora Incognita App and the Flora Capture App, you can identify wild plants by taking photos in the field and instantly receive a reliable suggestion powered by machine learning. Each identification is paired with a rich plant profile designed for learning: you’ll find clear descriptions of key characteristics, helpful notes for distinguishing similar species, and additional context such as conservation status and distribution.

Beyond identification, Flora Incognita encourages users to build their own digital record of plant discoveries. You can save observations, revisit them later, and create a personal collection of findings. If you choose, your observations can also contribute to scientific research, supporting projects that study plant diversity and distribution over time.

The apps are free to use and ad-free, making them a practical option for anyone who wants a focused, educational tool without distractions. Offline mode makes Flora Incognita especially useful for schools, field trips, and environmental education, where connectivity may be limited. Whether you’re a beginner learning local flora, a hiker curious about an unfamiliar plant, or a teacher looking for a classroom-friendly nature activity, Flora Incognita offers an accessible way to identify plants and take part in meaningful data collection. more
