eAZFlora - Electronic Flora of the Azores for Smartphones and Tablets

The eAZFlora project aims to fill a knowledge gap in Azorean science by developing a Flora of the Azores, while taking advantage of state-of-the-art internet and mobile technologies. We propose to make scientific data accessible to tourists and non-professional botanists through a mobile application provided with plant identification tools, such as identification by image recognition. The potential of this application extends into the education field by making botany study a captivating activity for younger students.
