It uses visual recognition technology to identify trees and plants in a matter of seconds. All you need to do is take a picture of the tree or plant you are trying to identify and the app will provide you with its name, scientific name, family, genus, species and other details associated with it.
Leafsnap also includes a library of high-resolution images for each species so you can easily compare your own image with those provided by the app. You can also access detailed information on each species such as its habitat, range map and bloom time.
