Sharing the World of Plants
Flora ID is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to a
broad range of interests surrounding the realm of plants.
We are pleased to announce that our Windows based programs will be available free of charge to download. Flora ID’s mission is to encourage, promote, and facilitate botanical education, plant identification, research, and awareness. In the past, profits from sales of have funded botanists in their work.
Botanical education and awareness is vital, and key to our mission. By offering these tools for free we want to remove barriers to education and help facilitate exploration and understanding of our natural world.
Flora ID has an effective track record of helping support the documentation of biodiversity. Grants from Flora ID have assisted in getting four newly discovered plants published. For example, read the published description for Lomatium refugianum here.
In 2016, the opportunity arose for several people with like interests to collaborate in creating a nonprofit organization to focus on botanical awareness, education, research, plant identification tools and plant surveys. This organization came into being in January, 2017. The rights to develop and produce the keys created by Flora ID Northwest have been given to the nonprofit organization, which ensures the previous work of Flora ID Northwest will continue as a part of the overall purpose of the new nonprofit. The plant identification keys are built on over 25 years of experience creating interactive plant identification software.
The Windows based software is offered free of charge and can be downloaded by using the below link. Donations are welcome and accepted if you wish.
In January, 2017, we became a non-profit organization producing and distributing the plant keys of Flora ID NorthWest that existed from 1994 to 2016.
