Species list

All species illustrated in Pl@ntNet and listed in the WCVP repository are available for identification and entry.

The complete list is available here.

Here are some details:

1. Plant species not covered: no algae, mosses, liverworts, or lichens are available in Pl@ntNet.

2. Fungi are not available in Pl@ntNet; there are no plans to add them in the short or medium term.

3. If a species is newly illustrated, the identification engine must be updated (re-trained) in order to recognize it. Depending on the team’s projects, this is done every 3 to 12 months. The version of the identification model is indicated at the very bottom of the website, or at the bottom of the mobile app options (CNN: YYYY-MM-DD).

Species not recognized

When manually entering a species, it may happen that the species is not visible. This may be due to:

1. Certain filters may be active (illustrated species only, species not present in the current flora).

2. The version of WCVP used in Pl@ntNet is not up to date.

3. The name used is a synonym not present in Pl@ntNet.

4. WCVP does not include this species (in this case, you can contact Kew).
