Trefle

The plants API

Visit Trefle

Trefle is a botanical data source and REST API. It indexes about one million plants from institutional sources, with records completed by hand by contributors. The database is in beta, with some records incomplete or not fully validated; missing values are labelled unknown rather than hidden. Records are reconciled on the accepted scientific name. The platform is maintained by a small volunteer team and backed by Mashum.
