PhulMedic: A Bangladeshi Medicinal Flower Dataset

Dataset Overview:
This dataset consists of 5,140 high-resolution images of five medicinally significant flower species commonly found in Bangladesh, intended for machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision research.

Data Source:
Data collection was carried out between May and July 2025 at the Daffodil International University (DIU) campus in Dhaka. Images were captured using various smartphone cameras, including Samsung J5 Prime, Samsung Galaxy M31, and Xiaomi Redmi 12.
