Question 1

Can I rely on smell to identify edible plants?

Accepted Answer

Partially. Scent is a useful additional feature, but it should not be used as the sole identification method. Many toxic plants have no noticeable scent, while edible species may develop unusual odors depending on their growth stage.

Question 2

Does Botan work for wild plants found in the forest?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Botan can identify many wild plants found in forests from a photo, including herbs, shrubs, trees, vines, ferns, and mosses. For toxic or look-alike species, use the result as a helpful clue and confirm with visible traits before touching or collecting the plant.

Question 3

Can I eat a plant if the app identifies it as edible?

Accepted Answer

The results are for informational purposes only and should not be considered confirmation that a plant is safe to eat. Before eating, consult a qualified specialist to verify the identification.
