Could be of interest and possibly useful if it works well...

Yep I just posted about it recently, it's def very interesting:

IDing ethnobotanicals with an app! - Collaborative Research Project - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

I've used PlantSnap, another app.
It could distinguish a Sativa from an Indica.

what's about hybrids?
really? that's nice to hear!
how many different plants have you tried to identify?
if the optical technologies will get better and better you could simply do botanical or entomological tasks very easy and may without doing any harm!
would be very great for people, who are trying to stop the deforestation by discovering and listing rare/undiscovered species!
