By any other name ...

My flora-identification app (Leafsnap) is all over the map on this rose-like flower that grows on trees around here.

The possibilities: Persian buttercup, camellia, cottage peony, Hungarian rose, Bengal rose, Wichura's rose ...

I can't tell you how it smells because I couldn't quite reach it with my nose, but I have a feeling that, whatever its name, it smells quite sweet.

Used the app LeafSnap to identify some of the wildflowers on my walk through the woods, as I'd like to be a bit more knowledgeable of my surroundings.

You can also identify plants by fruit, leaves, or bark!

I want to be like Davy Crockett, who, according to the ballad, was "raised in the woods, so he knew every tree."

Of course I was raised in Detroit, so my education was somewhat lacking in that regard. Now that I'm living out in the sticks, I'm trying to catch up.

As a consumer of firewood, I know my hardwoods from my softwoods. I can identify ashes and maples; black locusts beeches. I can tell a white oak from a red oak. I know enough to avoid pine, cottonwood and soft maple and other low-BTU trees.

But I'd like to know more. I'd like to be like Davy.

Recently a friend introduced me to LeafSnap, a flora-identifying cell phone app. You take a photo with your cell phone camera (leaf, bark, fruit or flower) then upload it to the app and it tells you (after you see an ad, of course) whether you're looking at a rhododendron or a peony.

I gave it a spin immediately after downloading it. I found that the app works better on leaves than it does on bark. But it's free, so I can't complain.

Citizen Science and Climate Change: Mapping the Range Expansions of Native and Exotic Plants with the Mobile App Leafsnap | BioScience | Oxford Academic

The mobile iPhone app Leafsnap, designed for the automatic identification of 220 tree species from the northeastern United States, was released to the public in 2011. In the first 3 years of its use, the app was downloaded by more than 1,500,000 users from five continents and 181 countries who recorded over 3,056,684 leaf images. The high levels of accuracy of Leafsnap identifications, as were confirmed by expert botanists, were used to map the geographic distribution of native and exotic species at a scale previously unachievable without this technology and without the aid of citizen scientists. Species demonstrated northerly migrations, southerly migrations, or little change from their estimated distributions in the 1950s. These results suggest that this tool carried on the phones of millions may potentially collect invaluable data that can be used to monitor the effects of climate change and exotic species on tree distributions at broad geographic scales.

Citizen Science!

Identify Nature With These Cool Apps

Identify Nature With These Cool Apps

By Pamela Bofferding – Ready Nutrition

If you have an iPhone, chances are you’ve used a recognition app like Shazam if you’ve ever heard a song you liked and wanted to identify the artist. These recognition apps seem like magic, giving you a definitive answer in just seconds and providing a link to purchase the music you’ve just heard.

Once, while on a hike in the Hudson Valley with a friend, we…
