The plants page includes basic search capabilities for quickly finding specific plants.
Search matches against plant names, across:
- Scientific name (genus and species)
- Common names
- Family
- Other names & synonyms
Important
Search is typo-tolerant: minor misspellings still return results (for example, "qercus" will still find "Quercus"). Results are ranked by relevance, with the closest name matches shown first.
Search currently focuses on plant names rather than the full descriptions, so the most relevant plants surface first. Broader searching across descriptions and uses may return in future. In the meantime, if a plant you need isn't in our detailed database, see adding missing Plants.
