The app suggests 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.

This is a great tool for amateurs and professionals! Its menus are clear, easy to use, and illustrated with helpful icons. When keying, you can use broad, obvious categories or detailed traits--whichever you choose. The pictures are very helpful--typically several for each species to show close-ups of the leaves, flowers and fruits. Although this is a user-friendly key, it is based on technical data, and the documentation is amazing. If you choose to open it, you'll find about 20 references (including volume and page number) for each species. This app covers forbs, shrubs, and most trees. Flora ID Northwest also makes a CD for PCs that covers the same groups, plus grasses, ferns, and conifers. I've used the CD for >10 years and love it!
