The Minnesota Wildflowers Info. app was developed to serve as an offline compliment to the renowned website: MinnesotaWildflowers.info.
The full version currently contains profiles for 1,710 plants with over 15,000 images covering:
•94 Aquatics
•76 Ferns & Fern Allies
•1099 Forbs
•126 Grasses
•24 Rushes
•202 Sedges
•152 Shrubs
•91 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 list of plants that are known to occur in MN is also included.
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. A glossary, that can be accessed through the multi-access key, describes and illustrates the traits used in the multi-access key.
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.
