Summary: Creation of an interactive quiz of species for medical plants in Bavaria. The intend of the quiz is, that interested amateurs and professionals describe comprehensively characters of plants by a quiz and gather the characters. In reverse, these saved characters can be used to identify an unknown plant that is contained in the dataset of medical plants.
Key words: Flora of Bavaria, programming, Python, Django, quiz
Status: species quiz is operative
Open issues: Program code for interactively identify character data is not customised yet, it has to conform to the data model oq DiversityDescriptions.
Help & sustain: Please help this project in supporting it financially and donate to it, to get a benefit for all. Working tasks: code adjustments to get an interactive identification running; adjust the code to the data model of DiversityDescriptions. Estimated work time 1 month or 1000 €
donate directly (PayPal.me) Goal is reached: 0 € 
A part of the species quiz could be completed in context of the research project“WWF, BG and BSM – ‘BIB 2.0’: Botanical platform for communications for Bavaria and Germany”.
After logging in at the species quiz you can start it: a medical plant is selected randomly and by clicking on conforming characters next to the photos on the side bar, you describing the plant. Here one screenshot (German UserInterface):
At the end you can guess the name of the plant. To motivate even more the description of the plant, a score system is implemented where every described character gets one point (also characters recognised as not available). Additionally, if you know the medical plant’s name you get 3 extra points.
