    Plant snap? Decent (as in shockingly good for a free app, surprised they haven’t ruined it yet) identification, I would suggest googling whatever it says anyway, as it can be a bit misleading or wrong. IE: once it said blackberry species X and it was blackberry species Y, one native, one not.

    I don’t pay for it but a lot of places will also list some plants as toxic but if you look at it you have to eat a specific part, or its a specific reaction. Could kill you from touching it, could be toxic only to cats during summer. So probably of limited use if its just a yes/no/maybe box.

    I do wish there were better options for determining native-ness. Absolutely sucks to think something is, propagate it, then realize nope, its NATURALIZED from a nearby state and is a bit problematic in your specific area. Prairie moon seeds somehow has the most clear guides, but only if they’re selling it (as in, they only list species they have/had and their ranges, so no luck from them).
