The app can suggest lists based on ease of use, effectiveness, and remaining species
Confirm identifications by comparing with photos or descriptions
Plant book references with page numbers provided for each species
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
An interactive glossary of botanical terminology with scientific illustrations
Access to all data for each species
Alphabetize the species list by either common or scientific name or search by entering a name.

The apps are based on our comprehensive interactive keys for PCs, which are subsets of the largest and most extensive database of plant characteristics produced anywhere. We sincerely appreciate the individuals, agencies, and institutions over the years that have graciously allowed us to include their copyrighted plant photos in our programs. Even with over 250 sources of photos, not all are of the highest quality. They are the best available and are included here for the help they provide for correct identifications.
Our keys run in software by XID Services. Richard Old of XID Services has produced a PC version 1200 Weeds of North America, which is the most comprehensive weed identification reference in North America.
