Leaf identification FAQ
How should I photograph a leaf?
Place it flat in even light, show both surfaces if possible, and include an attached twig or stem to reveal leaf arrangement.
Can a detached leaf give an exact species?
Not always. Many plants share similar leaves, so the result may provide a genus or several likely alternatives.
Can this identify poisonous leaves?
It may suggest a plant, but it cannot guarantee toxicity or safety. Avoid touching or eating unknown plants.
