Flora Incognita - Discover the Diversity of Nature

The Flora Incognita app offers a quick solution to the question: "What's blooming?" Capture a photo of a plant, identify its name, and access detailed information through a comprehensive fact sheet. The app utilizes highly accurate algorithms based on artificial intelligence to identify wild plants, even when they are not yet blooming.

Additionally, the Flora Incognita app provides an observation list where you can easily keep track of all your collected plant finds. Explore maps to visualize their locations and witness the growth of your knowledge about wild plants.

However, Flora Incognita goes beyond a mere identification tool. As a part of a scientific research project dedicated to nature conservation, the app is completely free of charge and advertising. Your observations contribute to answering important research questions concerning invasive species' distribution and the impact of climate change on biotopes.

Delve into regular stories featured in the app to stay updated on the project's news, gain insights into scientific work, or nurture your curiosity about ongoing natural phenomena.
