PLANT GUIDE
Identify a plant by photo
Identify a plant by photo with likely names, confidence and practical clues to verify the result.
Avoid uploading people or private documents.
The clearest plant identification photos show one subject in focus, with natural light and no filter. A leaf close-up is useful, but flowers, fruit, bark and the whole growth habit can be just as important.
Take the first photo from a short distance, then add a detail view of the leaf surface and underside. If the plant is flowering, photograph the flower from the front and side.
The result page gives you a likely match and comparisons. Use those clues to confirm the plant with a local field guide, nursery or botanist when certainty matters.
Common questions
How do I take a plant photo that can be identified?
Use a sharp image with one plant in focus, then add close views of leaves, flowers or fruit.
What if the result is uncertain?
Compare the alternatives and add a photo of the flower, fruit or leaf underside rather than relying on one guess.
