Currently identification of medicinal plants is depending on human’s expertise and knowledge sharing from generation to generation. As a human being it is inevitable part to make mistakes in identification of Ayurvedic plant which can lead to unwanted effects. So, an automated system using some advance technology like computer vision and machine learning, which will correctly identify the class of plant using plant leaf, is high in demand in Ayurveda healthcare domain. This research is carried out on self-created dataset of 4390 images of 35 different species of medical leaves. This system is an android platform based application which is used to classify medicinal leaves by using convolution neural network(CNN) .The dataset were divided into 80% training and 20% images for testing. Various measuring parameters are used to evaluate system performance. The reported accuracy for this system is 94.10%
