Plant knowledge

Species intelligence turns plant records into living knowledge.

The species intelligence layer supports taxonomy, habitat, distribution, ecology, uses, threats, propagation, pollinators and restoration value for public learning and field planning.

Taxonomy and names

Records should distinguish scientific name, common name, local names where known, family, habit and source confidence.

Ecology and use

Species are not just labels. Each record can describe habitat, pollinators, ecological function, agroforestry role, cultural notes and restoration relevance.

Evidence status

Claims should be marked as verified, candidate, field-observed, traditional knowledge, research hypothesis or public-learning note.

Why it matters

Species intelligence helps botanical gardens, farms, schools and conservation partners organise plant knowledge without confusing education with medical advice or unverified claims.
