Learn the native plants around you
KnowKi builds plant lessons from what people actually record near you on iNaturalist, most common first, so you learn the trees, wildflowers and shrubs you will really see.

How you learn them
Each unit starts by meeting six species, then matching them to new photos, then practicing with four choices. A plant becomes kin once you recognize it on two different photos on two different days.
Reviews come back after one, three and seven days, so what you learn stays learned.
Native or introduced
KnowKi keeps native and introduced plants apart. Introduced plants get their own units, marked from iNaturalist's checklist for your area, so you can learn the invaders too.
Each plant page shows when it flowers near you, from flowering observations on iNaturalist.
Questions
What plants will I learn?
The species most recorded around your home (or any place you choose), from trees and shrubs to wildflowers and ferns.
Do I need to know botany?
No. Lessons start with the most familiar plants and get harder as you go.
Does it work outside the U.S.?
Yes. Lessons work anywhere iNaturalist has enough observations, and you can take trips to other countries.
Free, with no ads, no account and no purchases. Photos and observations come from iNaturalist contributors, each credited with its license.
