Plant Disambiguation System
How FloraLexicon ranks and presents multiple species when a searched name matches more than one taxon.
FloraLexicon does not assume a single correct plant when the indexed data ties one name to several species. The hub lists each candidate with context so you can decide which matches your source.
In FloraLexicon
Instead of returning one result, the system ranks possible species using confidence, regional name usage, and evidence metadata—then shows them together for comparison.
