A plant catalog for use in the field on mobile devices.

The web app as used in D08 during the 2015 season: https://d8plants.cloudant.com/app/plant-list/index.html

Search plants by common name, scientific name, or USDA code. Synonyms are also searched (e.g. searching for "Acer barbatum" will return both A. floridanum and A. rubrum).

Tap the "hamburger" icon in the top left corner to switch between viewing all plants expected in the region, or one of several named sub-lists (2014 diversity data, 2015 unknowns in TALL and DELA).

Plants shaded in yellow have were found at a plot in 2014. Unknowns shaded in green were identified. Plants with growth forms identified by USDA include color-coded boxes on the right side of the screen (T=tree, S=shrub, V=vine, Fn=fern, F=forb, G=graminoid).

Tap on a plant to view defaults (this screen is not polished).

Identified plants include additional details such as family, synonyms, and a link to the USDA plants page. Unknown plants include collection details.

Data is automatically saved locally, so after the initial render offline use works transparently. Data is saved to either indexeddb, websql, or localstorage (PouchDB decides).

Note: iphones limit the amount of data that can be stored locally, so you may be prompted to increase the storage allotment for this.
