The Flora of Virginia Mobile App puts the full contents of the print Flora into your pocket—and much more.
The Flora App features an easy-to-use Graphic Key in addition to dichotomous keys. Most species descriptions include:
- Color photographs and a botanical illustration
- Virginia and Federal conservation ranks
- Nativity status
- County-by-county range maps
No Internet connection is required once downloaded, so you can access all of the data even in the most remote locations.
If you need to update your App, simply access the App Store or Google Play app, search for Flora of Virginia, and tap Install/Update.
