The Minnesota Wildflowers Info. app was developed to serve as a fully offline compliment to the renowned website: www.minnesotawildflowers.info.
The Lite (free) version only contains 300 plant profiles, while the full version currently contains profiles for 1,407 and over 12,000 images covering:
•41 Aquatics
•53 Ferns & Fern Allies
•1017 Forbs
•54 Grasses
•23 Rushes
•139 Sedges
•122 Shrubs
•78 Trees
Each profile contains a detailed description with insight into how species are distinguished from similar species, a distribution map for Minnesota, a table of traits and general info, and images. A complete species list for Minnesota can be toggled in the full version.
A layman friendly, multi-access key assists with the identification of plants. As traits are selected in the multi-access key, plants that do not have the trait are eliminated and traits that do not serve to narrow the results are grayed out. An illustrated glossary, that can be accessed through the multi-access key, is present in the full version.
As an additional feature to assist with plant identification, two plant profiles can be compared at once, side-by-side, by turning on the “Comparison View” setting within the app.
