Plants. There are about 250,000 species in the world, mostly found in the moist tropics and dominated [about 90%] by flowering plants, Flora. The orchids (Orchidaceae) have more species than any other family of flowering plants with 25,000-35,000 species recognized, mostly in the tropics. California Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), is the tallest tree on earth (110 m high), belongs to Conifer, a small family of 500 species. What's in a name? said Shakespeare. He had made Romeo, to say that a rose would be the same and smell as sweet by any other name. I am using common names like Rose, Lotus, Hibiscus, etc. but you will also find flowers grouped by color. They might not from the same family. They are just nice to see |
