This e-flora of the British Isles is part of a series of mobile systems for identifying species in nature. They were developed as part of the EC KeyToNature project aiming to provide easy access to flora and fauna information. In addition to this e-guide, others covering plants, birds, butterflies, fish and mammals are available or in preparation.

This e-flora holds information on 3525 (sub)species and includes over 8500 unique colour slides. It is the mobile version of the DVD-ROM ‘Interactive Flora of the British Isles - A digital encyclopedia’ by Clive Stace, Ruud van der Meijden (Ed.), Ingrid de Kort (Ed.) published by ETI, Netherlands, ISBN: 90-75000-69-3, republished for use on this medium.
