Description

Leafsnap is the first in a series of electronic field guides being developed by researchers from Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institution. This free mobile app uses visual recognition software to help identify tree species from photographs of their leaves.

Leafsnap contains beautiful high-resolution images of leaves, flowers, fruit, petiole, seeds, and bark. Leafsnap currently includes the trees of the Northeast and will soon grow to include the trees of the entire continental United States.

This app has a beautiful guide with images of leaves, the trees they belong to, seeds, bark, flowers. You can find a leaf and snap a picture of it to figure out what tree it came from. Absolutely amazing photos.
