Plant Identification Guide is an informational website for those who want to truly understand the plants around them. The main thing to know about Plant Identification Guide is that it’s designed to educate, not simply provide you with a ready-made answer. You’ll find descriptions of what different species look like and what distinguishes two similar plants from others.
Each of our guides adheres to the basics of botany, so you can learn to identify species on your own. This easy-to-read guide is helpful for gardeners, students, weekend hikers, and anyone who’s ever wondered what that plant is growing along a trail.
Our Mission & Philosophy
We want to help people learn to correctly identify species and gain true botanical literacy at the same time. Most tools simply give you the name. This is what makes our plant identification resource different, because the name itself doesn’t tell you much.
So, each of our guides strives to explain the logic behind the identification. Sometimes this relates to the structure of the flower or the type of habitat where it typically grows. Our site functions as a botanical education platform, and its goal is to make botany accessible, even if the plant in front of you is unfamiliar.
