About Plant Identification
Spotter can identify thousands of plant species from a single photo — trees, shrubs, wildflowers, grasses, ferns, aquatic plants, vines, and more. Whether you're trying to learn what's growing on your trail, avoid a toxic plant, or simply satisfy your curiosity as a naturalist, Spotter gives you a species identification and detailed reference information in seconds.
Every plant identification includes common and scientific name, key identifying features, native range, preferred habitat, and species notes. Results are provided as reference information — always consult a local expert or verified field guide for any safety-critical situation.
Tips for Better Identification
- Photograph the whole plant when possible — leaves, stem, flowers, and fruit all provide identification clues.
- Include a photo of the leaf's underside for plants where leaf texture and veining matter.
- Use GPS context (live capture mode) to improve accuracy for regional species.
- For any safety-critical questions, always consult a local expert or field guide. App results are reference information only.
