Posted: April 25th, 2014, 1:42 pm
Hey all, got this announcement from the NPSO mailing list. I've not downloaded or tried it yet since I have kind of a stupid phone, but I'm super curious to hear from anyone who does...

Greetings all,
The Oregon Flora Project, together with High Country Apps, has released
its /Oregon Wildflowers/ app! This app is an interactive field guide to
947 species of wildflowers, vines and shrubs that occur in nature in
Oregon (whether they are native or introduced). It provides photos,
range maps and brief descriptions for each species in addition to
providing an easy-to-use interface for identification using just a few
basic plant characters.
This app is the latest effort of the Oregon Flora Project to
meaningfully share scientific information with a broad audience. It is a
great introductory tool for those who are curious about their natural
surroundings, and it is a valuable resource for the skilled biologist.
In-depth content about Oregon's ecoregions and plant habitats, botanical
principles, and plant-hunting destinations make this a useful addition
to any plant-lover's collection.
It works without an Internet connection once downloaded, so it can be
used in the remotest areas of the state. The app covers plants found
throughout Oregon, and has over 3,200 photographs.
/Oregon Wildflowers/ is compatible with Kindle Fire, iOS, and Android
devices and is available through the online app stores for $7.99:
Apple (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id828499164&mt=8)
Amazon
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android ... fieldguide)
Google App
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... fieldguide)
Press release:

This is our first venture into tools for mobile devices, and the Oregon
Flora Project wants to know what you think! Please send us your comments
and suggestions about your experience with this app at

Enjoy!
