Not just a guess.
A botanical answer.
Take a photo. The app answers in the language of the plant kingdom — family, genus, species — and shows how sure it is at each step. So you know what you are looking at, even when the species is in doubt.
Free. No login to look a plant up.
We show the whole ladder — not just the top guess. When the species is uncertain, you can still trust the genus.
How it works
Three steps from camera to name.
- Step 1
Take the photo
Leaf, flower or the whole plant. Pick which part you photograph — it sharpens the answer.
- Step 2
Get the ladder
Family → genus → species, each with a confidence score. No false certainty when the plant is hard.
- Step 3
Save it
Add the plant to your collection or wishlist — and see who else is growing it.
Features
Built for people who collect green things.
From the honest lookup to your own collection and a community you decide how much to be part of.
An honest hierarchy
The model may be 78% sure of the family but only 37% of the species. You get the whole picture — not a single guess that sounds surer than it is.
Your collection & wishlist
Keep track of what you have at home and what you dream of. Everything is private until you choose to share.
The community
On every species page you can see who grows it — but only those who chose to share. Never a location, never a name without consent.
Your own language
Common names in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Polish, French, Spanish and English — so the plant is called what you call it.
Species
We write about the species themselves.
Species portraits with botanical depth: morphology, systematics, distribution and etymology — not care tips. And we publish only what we have edited ourselves.
Fenestration: why the leaf blade perforates in Monstera deliciosa
The characteristic holes (fenestrae) read as a hypothesis about light capture and wind resistance in the rainforest understory.
