Plant Identifier suggests what a plant might be from the traits visible in your photo — leaf shape, flower structure, growth habit — with the evidence stated and a confidence estimate attached. It is a starting point for curiosity and care research, not a safety authority: never eat or handle a plant based on a photo identification.

Get a reasoned candidate with the visible evidence listed, so you can confirm it against a trusted botanical source instead of scrolling image search.

FAQ
Can I use it to check if a plant is edible or safe?
No. Identification is a visual estimate and must never be the basis for eating, touching, or treating anything — confirm with a qualified expert.
Which plant parts should be visible?
Leaves, stem, flowers or fruit, and the whole growth habit provide stronger evidence than one leaf alone.
Can it diagnose a plant disease?
No. It suggests identity from visible traits; disease and treatment decisions require a horticultural expert.
Is the source image public?
No. Access uses a short-lived signed address for the selected private media object.
Which file formats are accepted?
The controlled beta accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP images up to 20 MB.
