The count is difficult, since you don't say what do you mean by plants. Not joking.
In botany fungi aren't plants, nor mosses, neither algae.
The term plant is scientifically restricted to eucariontic life forms that process their own food from sun light, CO2 and water, live on land (mainly), but WITH a VASCULAR SYSTEM well developed.
so, please narrow your question, or expand it, anyway a pleasure to discuss this topics, TKS!

More than you or i will ever imagine.I sometimes wonder if there were more or less? In the meanwhile Eucalptus 650+ species were listed in 1982...now there are 900+ species in 2006. The Continental Drift Theory(?) is a good place to start in ascertaining which particular species went where and why.There you have it.
