Field guide on Kerala Plants in English and Malayalam

The app is targeted towards young students who have taken fancy to gadgets such as Smartphones. The idea is to engage students by use of technology and assist them in their project work and also field study which could involve documentation of local flora. This app is also a tool for environmental educators specially teachers who sometimes do not have access to resources or persons. The app brings tree identification at finger tips of its users thus doing away the need of an expert or field guide in the first place. The app describes 100 species of trees and plants along with their pictures of leaf, common English and Malayalam name, height, geographical range, details about leaves, flowers, fruits, uses and associations.
