Tips for a better result

Questions
How accurate is it?
It is usually good for common plants with clear photos and shows its confidence. Similar-looking plants can be confused, so it lists alternatives and explains its reasoning.
Can I eat a plant it identifies?
No. FloraLens never says a plant is safe to eat from a photo. Many edible plants have poisonous look-alikes.
Is it free?
Each identification costs 1 credit, and guests get 2 free credits a day.
Are my photos stored?
Your photos and results are saved on your device for 15 days, not on our servers.
