Plant Base

Plant reference encyclopaedia built around a fully searchable on-device database. This is the Android edition of our popular PC and Mac product - sharing exactly the same database and with roughly the same capability.

This is an old-school, no frills application that may not suit everyone. However, it may be valuable for enthusiast gardeners or others with a serious interest in plants. We strongly encourage reading more details on our website before purchase and installing.

Installation of this app does not include the database files as they are very large. They are loaded separately with a choice of two methods - either transferred from an existing copy on PC or Mac, or alternatively downloaded directly by running our free data file support "helper" app. This can be done in advance, prior to purchase. Please consult our website for more information about this.

Our supplied database has thousands of plant data records and pictures, all fully accessible by the user. Records can be amended and new ones added. You may also create unlimited plant lists that might be helpful for garden projects or can function as bookmarks to the main data records.

Plant records are organised by botanical name (aka Latin name) and are also searchable by common name and many other criteria. Many, though not all, have a picture and you can easily add more photos. The database files can be exchanged by direct copy with the PC or Mac editions of Plant Base. The Android edition makes a useful mobile partner for these, or can be used on its own.
