Program : The Flora of Virginia App with Marion Lobstein

Join Marion Lobstein for a presentation on the Flora of Virginia Mobile App.

The print Flora of Virginia is heavy, but now it can fit in your pocket. Learn how to best unlock the functionality of the Flora of Virginia Mobile App to make you feel like a pro in the woods. The app is available for Android and iOS devices and contains everything you love from the print Flora of Virginia, with a lot more besides. It features an easy-to-use Graphic Key, in addition to the traditional dichotomous keys. Most species descriptions contain up to five photographs, and many include a botanical illustration. Treatments of species that are rare or threatened include conservation ranks, and invasives are scored as to level of invasiveness. And nearly all species have a county-by-county range map.
