PlantNet Plant Identification

If you've ever been out for a walk in nature and come across a plant you can't identify, there's now an app for that. PlantNet is a free app that uses image recognition technology to help you identify plants. With over 20,000 species in its database, it will be a helpful tool for nature lovers and amateur botanists.

Updates

Since its launch in 2010, the PlantNet Plant Identification app has been helping users to identify plants and flowers. The app has recently received an update, including several new features and improvements.

One of the most notable new features is the ability to identify plants by their leaves. This is particularly useful when you don't have a flower or fruit to hand. Simply take a picture of a leaf, and PlantNet will do its best to identify the plant it came from.

Another useful new addition is the ability to search for plants by their common name. So if you're not sure what kind of plant you're looking at, but you know it's called a"daisy,"you can search for that and find out more about it.
