Botany In A Day

Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification

Learn to identify plants by the hundreds, not one at a time. Rather than memorizing individual species, Botany in a Day teaches you to recognize family-level patterns—unlocking instant recognition (and often edible or medicinal uses) for plants you’ve never seen before.

This one-day tutorial covers eight of the world’s most common plant families, covering over 45,000 species across any continent. Once you’ve mastered these core patterns, you can expand your skills by keying out unfamiliar plants and learning new families.
