The educational benefits of this program are numerous, as it covers 528 of the most widespread species in the Western Ghats. The identification process is simplified by using a few key vegetative characters chosen for their availability. Additionally, the extensive illustrations included ensure that users can accurately determine the species in question.

Pros of this program include its ease of use, small file size, and the extensive coverage of species with illustrative support.
