The iFlora Smart Plant Encyclopedia user manual explains system requirements, database modules and how to use the web and mobile platforms.
This manual introduces the iFlora Smart Plant Encyclopedia, a database that combines plant taxonomy, DNA sequencing and information technology to provide fast plant identification and detailed species information. It describes the three main database topics – common Chinese plants, nationally protected species and Chinese Pharmacopeia plants – and the overall architecture of the iFlora information platform.
The guide details system requirements for server and client machines, explains each functional module (home page, smart prompt, fuzzy and similarity search, image recognition, barcode identification, index, graded retrieval and advanced search), and shows how to access detailed species pages and the mobile version for Android and iOS. This manual is written in Chinese.
