A name is
a starting point.

Search scientific names, verified synonyms and our English search labels. Taxonomy identifies a name; it does not prove care needs or pet safety.

Taxonomy: Catalogue of Life (2026-08-26 XR), via GBIF. CC BY 4.0. Retrieved 4 Oct 2026. Subset and English labels added by IndoorJungle. Full attribution and version limits.

Coverage is a curated subset. Labels are in English with scientific Latin names; the UI is not translated. Names do not establish geographic availability, named-cultivar identity, invasive status, import legality, toxicity or care. A named cultivar needs its own verified record; none is inferred from its parent species.

Two kinds of evidence.

Scientific names and synonyms come from a versioned taxonomy source. Care and toxicity notes are researched separately from horticultural institutions and ASPCA listings. Missing care means “not researched here,” never “safe” or “easy.”

Our approach and sources ↗

Choose for the room.

For the care-profile subset, our plant finder checks light, growing space and selected care constraints. No useful light or an incompatible pet requirement can result in no match.
