Hi,James Here are few links:

  1. Identification resource for trees of Northeastern and Central North America: http://www.realtimerendering.com/trees/trees.html
  2. Summer and winter keys (Cornell) : http://bhort.bh.cornell.edu/tree/keys.htm
  3. Leaves identification chart for Indiana trees: http://www.butler.edu/herbarium/treeid/idchart.html
  4. Trees identification for South Carolina: http://www.clemson.edu/extfor/publications/bul117/characteristics.htm

Be careful using publications that we don’t have permission to use, we know we can use the forestry commission and UGA ones, but others we may not and the information could be different for different areas of the country.

Thanks, Chuck

Chuck,

Those resources seem to have better fit with the need of application programming.

We couldn't use "textual info" from the publication that you've sent to us (key to common trees of southeast) because it is more oriented to science people in terms of how information is presented. We tried to draw a chart, but it seems that for each fork you need to answer very detailed question... much easier would be to let a user either to look at two quite opposite images and pick one or to answer a short and simple question.

It is a good point to consider legal issue and we definitely need to take care of that. In any case we plan to implement "key identification" feature in the second version of the app which will take a while, so we should have a good chance to communicate with copyright holders if needed.

We will show you results of our data compilation prior use them in the app so you could provide expert opinion on how accurate our approach to identification.
