Related to this, I've been working on a side project (https://www.hedira.io/ https://www.hedira.io/, house plant care advisor) for nearly 2 years now. We haven't gotten time to add species recognition by images, but I've done enough to know it's really hard! Thankfully, being houseplant focused, people normally have an easy time finding out what specific species they have in front of them. I made some classifiers using coreML to test the idea and as with a lot of ML problems, 90% accuracy is trivial, but it gets difficult really quickly after that. Especially without flowers (since they tend to be more unique). The simplest way I could find to add detection was to use something like the plantnet API (https://my.plantnet.org/usage https://my.plantnet.org/usage) which powers the app of a similar name. There are a couple of other plant recognition APIs worth looking at too.
