There are plenty of plant identification apps - but only few, that directly help research. The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL has enhanced the FlorApp of the Info Flora data centre with an image recognition tool, which makes identification easier and at the same time more precise. With Info Flora's FlorApp, botany enthusiasts have been able to report their plant observations from the field to the data centre. Now the app also helps to identify plants.
