Detailed explanation-1: -The study also found that 2, 034 new plant species were discovered in 2015.
Detailed explanation-2: -The report states that there are an estimated 390, 900 species of vascular plants known to science.
Detailed explanation-3: -All told, scientists have described almost two million plant and animal species, and the current rate is about 18, 000 new ones a year. But that’s not nearly fast enough. A study in the journal PLOS Biology conservatively estimates that there are 8.75 million species on earth, the vast majority unknown to science.
Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are about 320, 000 known species of plants, of which the great majority, some 260, 000–290, 000, produce seeds.
