About Smart'Flore
Smart'Flore is an application for the discovery of the botany. It allows to find the plants that are close to you or to guide you on botanical trails.
This work is part of the Floris'Tic project, supported by the "Programme Investissement d'Avenir" and involving teams of Agropolis Fondation, Tela Botanica, Inria, Cirad, Cnrs, Inra, Ird, UM.
A browser offers the possibility to explore the species list and to filter according various criteria (your geographical position, plants uses, family, genus). Presently, there are four referentials that are availables within the application: French flora, Reunion Island flora, Useful plants, and World flora.
You can also explore "Botanical Trails". Some trails are supplemented with explanatory panels that facilitate the identification of plants in the field. Other trails are dematerialized but the application will guide you easily to discover the plants.
The detailed card of each species allows to discover the following informations (when availables):
- Common names (sources: EOL, GBIF, GRIN)
- Plant uses (source: GRIN)
- Photo gallery (sources: EOL, GBIF, TLB)
- Wikipédia page
- Pl@ntUse page (Wiki for useful plants)
- Map of the observations (source: GBIF)
- Scientific name, Genus, Family, Synonyms (sources: GRIN, The Plant List, TLB)

GBIF: Global Biodiversity Information Facility

Great idea but I would really like more knowledge around my vicinity. I live in California and can barely have access to any plants. I would like to know any trails around me and the different types of plants.
