Iberian field guide

The others tell you the name. This one tells you what that means on the trail.

A walker who stops in front of a plant does not just want the name. They want to know whether they can touch it, whether they have seen it before, and what it looks like.

How this works

Sheets written, not generated

Every plant has a sheet in Portuguese, English and Spanish, with the local names people actually use and the field mark that separates it from the rest.

Lookalikes come first

No edible plant enters without its dangerous lookalike entering too. Where the confusion can kill, the warning comes before everything else.

Works on the trail

A sheet loads and stays. Photo mode uses the network when there is one, and tells you plainly when it is not sure.

What this guide does not do

It does not tell you that you can eat a plant. It describes what the plant is, how to tell it apart and what it is confused with. The decision belongs to whoever is standing there, and a paper field guide is still this app's best companion.
