Entering observations has never been so enjoyable. Info Flora is therefore pleased to provide a free App for entering your field observations of all species of the Swiss Flora.

During your excursions, even without telephone network, you can enter your observations, locate them thanks the GPS of your device and link them to pictures. As soon as you want and you have an Internet connection, you can send your observations to info Flora and consult them on your Online Fieldbook (obs.infoflora.ch).

Your observations will be sent to the national Centre responsible for each organism groups: plants and stoneworts to Info Flora, mosses to NISM, mushrooms to Swissfungi, and lichens to SwissLichens. You can manage all your observations in the Online Fieldbook of Info Flora. Observations of plants and stoneworts can always be modified via the Online Fieldbook. Observations of mosses, mushrooms and lichens are also visible in the Online Fieldbook of Info Flora, but can be modified only during one week after the transfer from FlorApp. Later modifications must be announced directly to the national Centre responsible for the organism group.

You contribute to make the distribution maps provided by Info Flora more current and accurate.
