Classifying plant species is an important effort in agriculture, environmental conservation, and botanical study. This research presents a novel method for precise and effective plant species classification that makes use of deep learning techniques. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a subclass of deep learning models well-known for their performance in image identification tasks, are a key component of the suggested approach. A sizable collection of photos of different plant species taken in a range of growth phases and environmental circumstances is used to train the system. To improve the model's resilience to changes in image quality and appearance, a variety of preprocessing methods, such as image normalisation, augmentation, and noise reduction, are used. Test results show that the suggested deep learning strategy outperforms manually generated feature-based approaches and conventional machine learning techniques in the classification of plant species. High accuracy rates are attained by the CNN-based model in a variety of plant species, demonstrating its good generalisation to new data and handling of intricate botanical features. Additionally, the method is efficient and scalable, which makes it appropriate for real-world applications involving the large-scale classification of plant species. This research advances agricultural practices, biodiversity monitoring, and botanical research by automating the process of species identification. This ultimately makes it easier to manage plant resources sustainably and support environmental conservation initiatives
