Abstract
Characteristics can be stored in a computer databank for various plants, animals, and items. When a user wants to identify a particular plant, animal or item, the user supplies the characteristics that are readily ascertained. After the user has entered the characteristics, the standardized reverse logic databank of the present invention will cull out the items that have non-compatible characteristics and identify the item or provide a list of the possible identity matches for the unknown.
